Following a disappointing 3-0 defeat in the ODI series, the Indian women's cricket team staged a remarkable comeback to kick off the T20I series.
After a commanding start in the three-match T20I series against Australia, India is eager to maintain their positive momentum in the upcoming second clash. Following a disappointing 0-3 defeat in the ODIs, India orchestrated a strong comeback, securing a convincing 9-wicket victory in the opening T20I after winning the toss and choosing to bowl.
The trio of Titas Sadhu, Shreyanka Patil, and Deepti Sharma played a pivotal role, taking eight wickets collectively and restricting Australia to a modest total of 141 runs. In the chase, Smriti Mandhana contributed with 52 runs, and Shafali Verma showcased a stellar performance with 64 runs in 44 balls, featuring six boundaries and three sixes. The resounding victory marked a turnaround for India, and the team looks forward to maintaining their winning form in the upcoming match.
