END OF OVER:
20 | 9 Runs | AUS-W: 187/1 | RR: 9.35

  • Renuka Singh4-0-39-0
  • Deepti Sharma4-0-31-1

Peter: "Not sure about the wide? Are you serious? It landed off the pitch! It's actually a no-ball by the laws" I get what you are saying, but McGrath had shuffled so far across. She could have reached the ball, isn't it? The bowler just followed the batter. Has to be some leeway, I feel.

8.29pm Australia finish on an imposing 187 for 1, and it was M&M doing all the damage once again. Mooney and McGrath put on 158 unbeaten runs - the highest for Australia for any wicket in T20Is. Mooney started off slow when Healy was batting but upped her tempo when McGrath walked in. The duo went about finding the gaps to precision and the timing was on point all along. McGrath finished 70 not out off 51 balls while Mooney slammed 82* off 54. They scored 53 runs off the last five overs despite Renuka delivering a superb 20th. It will be a tough chase and the top order will have to fire. Dew will also play its part. Can India reach the target? We'll find out in a bit with Srinidhi back at the wheel.
