The reigning champions are on a tour of the runners-up territory when the two teams meet in the second T20I on Sunday, December 11.
The Women’s T20 World Cup is just a few months away, and countries will have specific combinations in mind with the big tournament in mind. The reigning champions are on a tour of the runners-up territory when the two teams meet in the second T20I on Sunday, December 11. The Australians crushed the Indians by 9 wickets in the opening T20I. Beth Mooney grabbed the show with the bat, scoring a magnificent 89*(57) to help Australia win the game. India, on the other hand, failed to capitalise on the scoring pressure they had put on Australia.
Their bowling did not appear to be very sharp, and they need to discover answers as soon as possible. The batters fared admirably, and Harmanpreet Kaur will be aiming for a similar performance on Mumbai’s batting-friendly wickets. Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, and Healy excelled for Australia, and even without usual skipper Lanning, Australia didn’t break a sweat in a tough run chase. They have already won 16 T20Is in a row and are aiming for more.
