Thanks for joining for the live coverage of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022 between India and Australia. This was Saurabh Saket alongside Ajay Ahire and Anirudh Modi. Stay updated as we bring up games from all across the globe. Until then stay tuned and stay safe!
Mithali Raj (Losing Captain): "I think when you lose then you thought about the 10-15 runs short and same case for today's game. Aussies batted with great intent from the start and that put on a lot of pressure on our bowlers. Our fielding wasn't up to the mark and that cost plenty of runs. We will look to improve the batting in the upcoming matches and hopefully win the next couple of games. Our girls playing in WBBL gives them a lot of confidence and exposure to them to play against the top players from all around the globe. Jhulan is a legend of the game. Playing 200 ODI's is not an easy task for the Pacers and she keeps on doing this for us."
Meg Lanning, (Player of the Match, Winning Captain): "Personally it was nice to contribute, it was disappointing the last couple of games. The training yesterday helped me realize how I want to play today. It was a belter of a wicket and the strategy was simple - to play as straight as possible. She is very calm and keeps everything under control, it was nice to have someone alongside who was experienced enough to know what to do. I just had to trust my hands a bit and go through. It was nice to see it come off." 
Saket: Australia beat India by 6 wickets .

India were up against Australia in their rematch from the World Cup 2017 semifinals. Australia won the toss and invited India to have a go with the bat first. The Women in Blues had a slow start to the innings as they lost both Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma early in the contest as Darcie Brown picked both the wickets within the first six overs to put India at 28/2. 

Yastika Bhatia and skipper Mithali Raj put up a big 130 runs partnership for the 3rd wicket as the duo scored 59 and 68 runs respectively to help India get past 150 runs on the board. Darcie broke the partnership in the 32nd over as she sent Yastika back to the pavilion courtesy of a good catch from Perry. Raj wasn't able to stay in the middle for much longer after the wicket and was sent packing in the 38th over by Alana King.

Richa Ghosh and Sneh Rana were the next in line and couldn't contribute much with the bat as the duo lost their wickets heading into the death overs to put India in a precarious position. However, Harmanpreet Kaur and Pooja Vastrakar took the Aussie bowlers to the cleaners in the death overs as they put the pedal on the accelerator and helped India get past 250 runs on the board. The two put up a 65 runs partnership for the seventh wicket and helped India post 277 runs on the board at the loss of seven wickets in the designated fifty overs.

Australia had a flying start to the chase as their opening partnership worked wonders with Rachel Haynes and Alyssa Healey accumulating 121 runs for the first wicket. Sneh Rana provided India with the breakthrough as she was able to get Healey:s wicket in the 20th over.

Rachel Haynes lost her wicket just two runs later as India found their opportunity to make a comeback into the game. Australia however gave their opponents no chance to get their way back as Lanning alongside Ellyse Perry put up a 102 runs partnership taking the game away from India.

India tried to make a comeback in the game with the wicket of Perry on 226, but Lanning alongside Beth Mooney put Australia on the doorsteps to victory. Lanning lost her wicket just three runs before her hundred as she handed an easy catch to Vastrakar. With eight runs needed in the last over, Mooney finished the game off in style with ten runs off the first three balls awarding the 6 wickets win to Australia.
