In a disappointing turn of events during the Women's ODI between India and
Australia, the Indian women's team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, faced a dramatic
collapse, losing their last six wickets for just 11 runs. After being put into
bat, India was off to a shaky start, losing crucial wickets early on. At 89/4,
there was still hope for a competitive total, but the lower order crumbled under
pressure, and India was bowled out for just 100 runs. The collapse began when
Harmanpreet Kaur, the team's captain, was dismissed after a gritty knock,
leaving the middle order vulnerable. Australia’s bowlers, led by the sharp pace
of Megan Schutt and the spin of Alana King, capitalized on the weakness,
reducing India from a challenging position to a complete breakdown. Key
contributions from Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana could not provide enough
stability, and the Indian side was left helpless as the wickets tumbled.
Australia’s bowlers maintained tight lines and exploited the conditions, showing
their experience and resilience. With just 100 runs on the board, India faces an
uphill task in the second innings, where Australia is likely to capitalize and
pursue the total with ease. This result highlights India’s vulnerability against
top-tier teams and their struggle with finishing strong.
