Pch.. Another defeat for the Indian women’s team.. This time the girls came to the shore of victory. They lost the match by just 3 runs. Also the series was presented to the Aussies. In the second ODI match between India and Australia at Mumbai on Saturday (December 30), the Australian team won by 3 runs. Batting first, Australia scored 258 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs. After that, Team India failed in this run chase. They managed to score only 255 runs, losing 8 wickets in the allotted 50 overs. Team India’s wicket keeper Richa Ghosh exploded with 96 runs, but India’s victory stopped short of 3 runs. With the latest win, the Australian team clinched the three-match ODI series 2-0.
Yastika Bhatia and Smriti Mandhana couldn’t give a good start to Team India, who came into the ring with a target of 259 runs. With the score on 37 runs, Bhatia (14) was bowled by Kim Garth. Mandhana was also out for 34 runs. After that both Richa and Jemima Rodrigues put on a partnership of 88 runs to support Team India. But Jemima, who scored 44 runs, was dismissed and Georgia gave a break to the Aussies. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was also disappointing with only five runs. Deepti and Richa added 47 runs for the fifth wicket and raised hopes of victory. But 16 runs were needed in the last over. Deepti hit a four in the first ball and raised the team’s hopes, but with the next ball, India was bound to lose.
