7.38pm Innings break Pooja Vastrakar gives India a glimmer of hope with a phenomenal innings at the end. india were staring down a score of less than 100 but she smashed 37 not out from 26 to set Australia 119 to win the series. Vastrakar's 37 not out is the joint highest score by an Indian in Women's T20Is while batting at No.8 or lower. Only two players had higher scores batting at No.8 or lower in the format. Australia bowled very well up until late in the piece. Vlaeminck did the damage in the powerplay and the spinners strangled India through the middle overs. India also shot themselves in the foot with two terrible run outs. Gnasher will be back for the start of the chase.

Ishq: "Pooja what a beauty.She has shown what she is capable of if she has given a free hand.She has to be promoted up the orden with a license to kill"

CJay: "Second highest 10th wicket partnership in womans t20i. Very smart batting and hopefully now we get to see a competitive game." It is indeed CJay. Here is the partnership list.
