12.30pm Innings break India post 154 for 8. Brilliant innings from Harmanpreet and Verma have helped India post something defendable. The surface wasn't that easy to bat on. Jess Jonassen was outstanding with the ball claiming 4 for 22. It was a little two-paced and more balls skidded than spun. Verma rode her luck but he striking straight was supreme. Harmanpreet was so powerful over the leg side. Australia got their plans wrong to the skipper. It was her first fifty-plus score for Harmanpreet Kaur in T20Is since her century in the 2018 T20 World Cup.
Surath: "This will not be an easy target to chase down for Aussie ladies.. game on.. hope deepthi sharma will come good with the ball" Sreshth will be back for the start of the chase.

Jonassen to Kaur, SIX, launched over wide long on into the crowd! Wow. What a shot. She charged down and was beaten in flight but swung through the line and flushed it. Jonassen was laughing. That was huge.

The doctor is out to check her for concussion but she's fine. It was a glancing blow on the grill

King to Kaur, FOUR, hammered over deep square! Crazy move to bring deep square up given Harmanpreet's penchant. She stepped way outside off and nearly pulled it for six over backward square

Stays over. Deep square strangely brought up

Bala: "Good that the spinners have been successful on this track with wickets and economy rate. India has three specialist spinners in their armour of which two are left arm spinners and the success of Jess should encourage them to have a go on this wicket."
