IND-W vs AUS-W, Match Highlights: Oh, what a game! In the run chase, India came so close to making history. India was in the driver’s seat for the pursuit thanks to Mandhana, Shafali, and Kaur, putting the hosts on track for a historic victory.
Together, they put up 76 runs for the first wicket while maintaining the required run rate. However, the Australians entered the match after a couple of fast wickets. India mounted a comeback as Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur formed a team. However, when Kaur and Mandhana went down, it appeared as though Australia had the game in hand.
However, Richa Ghosh then rose to the situation and displayed her physical strength. From an unlikely position, she managed to put India on the verge of triumph. Not to mention Vaidya, whose last-ball four is what sent this game into the realm of the Super Over.
