Litchfield played with peace and smoothness, turned the blow well and punished anything relaxed before finally fell on the Sneh Rana in the 27th place.
India women vs Australia women 1. Update Odi
Previously, the Indian Supreme Order showed a promise with a solid bat display. Pratika Rawal (64 out of 96) and Mandhan (58 out of 63) placed on a 114-running opening stand, while Harleen Deol threw himself with an aggressive 54. However, the middle order could not fully earn on the platform. India eventually published 281/7, competitive, but slightly insufficient score on a good launcher.
Australia to win
Australia’s answer was authoritative. Skipper Alyssa Healy provided a brisk start before falling to 27 but Litchfield and Ellys Perry (30 out of 38, retirement injured) ensured that she had never worn momentum. After the release of Litchfield Beth Mooney (77 out of 74)* and Annabel Sutherland (54 out of 51)* at Australia height comfortably led in Australia in a 45th place with 35 balls to save.
The Indian pitch, a levy spell from the wound (1/51), lacked penetration and control, and everyone else reappeared at more than 5.5 runs. The loss emphasizes concerns about India before the World Cup of Women in 2025, especially when closing strong starts and maintaining pressure.
