Australia Women Vs India Women, 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: What a game of cricket this turned out to be! Goswami did well to not concede any boundaries but India’s poor fielding, combined with the no-ball called for height in the last delivery meant the game slipped out of the visiting team’s grasp yet again. Australia, meanwhile, continue their winning run in ODIs, this being their 26th consecutive victory in the 50-over format, and this perhaps would be their toughest victory in their recent run of matches yet. Preview: Mithali Raj and CO will hope for a better performance in the second ODI against Australia in Mackay. In the opening match of the series, India were outplayed in all departments as Australia won the match by nine wickets. Batting first, India made 225 for the loss of eight wickets and Australia chased the target in just 41 overs, losing one wicket in the process.

Skipper Meg Lanning also scored a fine half-century to ensure Australia seal the victory. “Well, see, you don’t have plans, but again it is about executing it in the ground, sometimes the bowlers don’t get the rhythm, but there are times when you know they get the rhythm but the plan isn’t working,” Mithali said after her team’s defeat. “Yes, we have a lot to work in terms of our bowling department because, predominantly, we are spin attack and spinners are getting hit everywhere, so that is something we need to tweak in,” she added. India will also want their openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana to give them a good start, which will reduced the pressure on the middle-order. Yastika Bhatia and Mithali Raj scored runs in the previous game so they will aim maintain their form. Squad India: Mithali Raj (Captain), Harmanpreet Kaur (vice-captain), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Punam Raut, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Yastika Bhatia, Taniya Bhatia (wicket-keeper), Shikha Pandey, Jhulan Goswami, Meghna Singh, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav, Richa Ghosh, Ekta Bisht.

There seems to be no stopping Australia’s ODI juggernaut at the moment. Not even if you reduce Meg Lanning’s side to 52/4 with more than 200 runs left to chase. Such is the hallmark of this champion side that they find a way to win from the most impossible of situations. India however, can take heart from the fact that they would’ve put up the toughest fight the Aussies would have faced since October, 2017, nearly ending the streak tonight. They still can do that on Sunday when they take on the Aussies in the third one-dayer, which is the last match to take place at the Harrup Park in Mackay before the caravan moves to Carrara Oval in Gold Coast.
Hope you enjoyed our coverage of the thrilling second ODI. Hope you join us on Sunday for the third game. For now, we bid you all good night!
After 50 overs,Australia Women 275/5 ( Beth Mooney 125 , Nicola Carey 39)
What a game of cricket this turned out to be! Goswami did well to not concede any boundaries but India’s poor fielding, combined with the no-ball called for height in the last delivery meant the game slipped out of the visiting team’s grasp yet again. Australia, meanwhile, continue their winning run in ODIs, this being their 26th consecutive victory in the 50-over format, and this perhaps would be their toughest victory in their recent run of matches yet.
Ball 6: Carey hits a full toss from Goswami straight to the fielder at midwicket, and the Indians begin celebrating the wicket, but the hosts review it straight away and it turns out to be a NO BALL for height!
Next legal delivery: Carey runs the ball down the ground, and successfully comes back for a second as Australia win by five wickets, and seal the ODI leg of the tour 2-0!
After 49 overs,Australia Women 262/5 ( Beth Mooney 122 , Nicola Carey 33)
Unsuccessful LBW appeal against Carey at the start of the over as the batter attempts a sweep, with a leg bye getting added in the end. Replays later show the ball to be hitting the off stump. Boundary off the second, as Mooney smacks the ball through the covers. Single off the next two balls, with Mooney getting a thick top-edge in the third delivery, the ball ultimately falling between two fielders. Another half chance dropped at deep midwicket after an attempted slog by Mooney, with substitute Rodridgues the fielder in question. Quick single to Mooney in the last delivery. And we have come down to the last over, with Australia needing 13 off 6.
After 48 overs,Australia Women 252/5 ( Beth Mooney 114 , Nicola Carey 32)
Single off each of the first two balls before Mooney sweeps towards deep square leg for a brace in the third delivery. Deepti puts down a low chance at cover after Mooney looks to go big inside out, getting a brace. Dot off the fifth, an invaluable dot for the Indians, before Mooney ends the over with a boundary that once again tilts the advantage in the hosts’ favour. 10 from the over. Australia need 23 off 12.
After 47 overs,Australia Women 242/5 ( Beth Mooney 105 , Nicola Carey 31)
Mooney collects back-to-back doubles in the second and third deliveries — Carey nearly getting run out in the third ball, ultimately saved by Deepti’s inability to gather the ball before breaking the stumps. Wide in the fourth ball. Single to Mooney in the fifth, giving Carey the licence to go for the big hit in the last delivery, though she only manages a double off a reverse sweep. Eight from the over. AUS need 33 from 18.
After 46 overs,Australia Women 234/5 ( Beth Mooney 100 , Nicola Carey 29)
While Beth Mooney celebrates a superb hundred — the first of the series and the second in her ODI career — India have succeeded in drying up the boundaries in the recent overs that has brought the pressure back on the Aussies. Five from Poonam’s fifth over, with Australia need 41 from 24.
After 45 overs,Australia Women 229/5 ( Beth Mooney 98 , Nicola Carey 26)
Another chance goes begging for the Indians as Richa Ghosh misses out on a stumping chance with Carey the batter in question. This, in addition to the several catches and run-out chances missed earlier which allowed the Aussies to wriggle their way back into the chase. Carey collects a double off the last ball to bring up the fifty stand with Mooney in just 40 balls. Six from the over, Australia need another 46 off 30.
After 44 overs,Australia Women 223/5 ( Beth Mooney 96 , Nicola Carey 22)
Gayakwad starts off with a couple of dots — which could help India in their defence of the target even if the wickets are hard to come by. Carey collects a single off the third delivery, before Mooney maintains the pressure on India with back-to-back doubles, some good running between the wickets there. Back-to-back singles to end the over. Australia need 52 off 36.
After 43 overs,Australia Women 218/5 ( Beth Mooney 93 , Nicola Carey 20)
A single and a double collected in the first two deliveries of Sharma’s seventh over, before the under-pressure off-spinner ends up bowling a wide in the third. Low chance for Mithali at point after a cut by Mooney, but she fails to latch on to it. Mooney and Carey continue to look for a run almost every single delivery. The former, meanwhile, is in the 90s right now, and will hope to bring up the first century of the series. Australia need 57 off 42.
After 42 overs,Australia Women 210/5 ( Beth Mooney 89 , Nicola Carey 17)
Big over for the Aussies as Vastrakar leaks 13 from it, 12 of them coming in boundaries. And Mooney, who’s batting in the 80s right now, collects two of them, the first one off a reverse ramp over the keeper’s head followed by a flick over the backward square leg region. Australia need 65 to win from 48.
After 41 overs,Australia Women 197/5 ( Beth Mooney 81 , Nicola Carey 12)
Sharma continues. Single collected off each delivery barring the second, in which Mooney decides to charge down the pitch and loft the ball over mid on, clearing the in-field to collect her eighth boundary and keep the required rate under check. Another 78 needed for Australia off 54.
After 40 overs,Australia Women 188/5 ( Beth Mooney 75 , Nicola Carey 9)
Vastrakar returns to the attack in place of Gayakwad, and manages to keep a check on the two Aussie batters by giving away just four from her seventh over. With 87 to win from 10 overs with five wickets left, this game looks like it could go down the wire!
After 39 overs,Australia Women 184/5 ( Beth Mooney 74 , Nicola Carey 6)
Just when India’s hopes were starting to fade away, Deepti brings them right back in the game by getting rid of McGrath, who holes out to short fine to depart for 74. Nicola Carey, coming in place of the injured Rachael Haynes, gets going right away with a brace followed by a boundary. Australia need 91 from 66.
OUT! India finally get the breakthrough they were starting to get desperate for, as McGrath holes out to the fielder at short fine after swiveling around while pulling a flatter delivery from Deepti. Her superb innings of 74 off 77 — the first half-century of her nascent international career — comes to an end. AUS 178/5
McGrath c Bhatia b Sharma 74(77)
After 38 overs,Australia Women 175/4 ( Beth Mooney 71 , Tahlia McGrath 74)
Mooney now joins McGrath in the 70s as the pair look fairly well set to chase down the 100 runs that are left at the end of this over, and given the way they’re batting at the moment, 72 deliveries seem enough. However, a wicket at this stage certainly could make things a little more interesting. Six runs from Gayakwad’s eighth over.
After 37 overs,Australia Women 169/4 ( Beth Mooney 68 , Tahlia McGrath 73)
Meghna continues to leak runs in her penultimate over and her second spell continues to be quite contradictory to what she bowled in the first powerplay, as nine runs are added to the Aussie total, including a boundary to Mooney in the second delivery. Australia need 106 from 78 balls.
After 36 overs,Australia Women 160/4 ( Beth Mooney 61 , Tahlia McGrath 71)
Gayakwad into her seventh. Single off each of the first three deliveries, before McGrath sweeps behind square in the fourth to collect yet another boundary and bring down the required run rate even further. She keeps the strike with a single off the last ball. Eight from the over. Australia need 115 from 84.
After 35 overs,Australia Women 152/4 ( Beth Mooney 59 , Tahlia McGrath 65)
Meghna, who had bowled a terrific first spell earlier today, returns with three overs left in her quota. Mooney edges the ball past the keeper towards the third fence to collect her sixth boundary. Three singles in the next five deliveries, before McGrath brings up the century stand with a double in the last ball. Nine from the over.
