The Australians also struggled under the lights – batting under twilight floodlights is notoriously difficult with the pink ball and the Indian bowlers looked to take advantage of that. Debutant Sayali Satghare bowled a beautiful delivery to remove Australian opener Georgia Voll early. Kranti Gaud and Satghare kept the pressure high, grabbing two more wickets, including that of skipper Alyssa Healy, to leave Australia slightly on edge at 58/3. Despite the wobbles, the experienced Ellyse Perry and the all-rounder Annabel Sutherland stepped in to save Australia’s innings. They calmed things down, batted sensibly and made sure their team didn’t lose any more wickets before the end of the game. Australia’s scorecard currently shows 96 for 3 after 27 overs. They are currently tracking 102 runs with 7 wickets in their bank.
