12.33pm This is India's highest T20I total against Australia. The previous best of 152 for 5 came earlier this year in Mumbai. There too, Mandhana was the highest scorer with a 41-ball 67. Australia muscled home with 11 balls to spare then. Will it be any different tonight?

Australia made up for an erratic start with a rush of late wickets. Even still this is a competitive score. Mandhana was brilliant. Pushed on, for once, after getting a start. Australia don't have Healy at the top as we don't know if she'd be fit to bat. But make no mistake.. they'll be no pushovers. India in a fight. Can they hold their own?

"First few matches I was disappointed with the way I was getting out," says Smriti. "This time I didn't want to let the team struggle by getting out after being settled. I always enjoy batting with her (Harmanpreet). Left-right is always a deadly combination as the bowlers lose their lines. Against a good side, we need to come out well. That's not on our mind as we always come out with the intention of doing well."
