India would be relived with that total of 172 for 5. After a quick 21 from Shafali Varma and with Smriti Mandhana struggling to middle the ball, captain Harmanpreet Kaur chipped in with 21-ball 23. But It was Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma who upped the ante with a 20-ball 36 and an unbeaten 15-ball 36 to lift India to a competitive total. Devika Vaidya also made a handy contribution of an unbeaten 25. For Australia, returning Perry took two important wickets to finish with figures of 2 for 10 in her two overs.

Let's welcome Ashish on the back seat for the chase Gautammm: "Would have been great had those 4 consecutive boundaries come in the 18th over and had 2 more to go. Anyway a decent total. Now time to defend the score with some good bowling especially Thakur "
