Highest scores against Indian women in ODIs
India’s women have conceded three of those five 300-over totals this year, showing that their bowling performance has been lackluster for a while now. During the last game, as many as four bowlers had an economy rate of more than 7 in their spell, and only one bowler conceded less run-a-ball.

As a whole, India Women have an economy rate of 5.32 in ODIs this year, which is the second-worst by a team in the format, only behind South Africa Women (5.39). So this total isn’t a huge surprise, given that they’ve already conceded too many throughout this year.
Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry score fabulous centuries
After winning the toss, Australia’s women elected to bat first and wreaked havoc on the willow. The opening partnership was 130 runs before Phoebe Litchfield (60) lost her wicket, but Georgia Voll (101) and Ellyse Perry (105) both recorded wonderful centuries.
The duo put together a 92-run stand, but the carnage continued even after Voll got out. Later, Beth Mooney (56) also scored a quick half-century, and other contributions took Australia Women to a huge 371/8.
Saima Thakor took three wickets, while Minnu Mani got two wickets, but they were all expensive for the Indian women. During the chase, India Women lost Smriti Mandhana (9) in just the fourth over of the innings.
Later, Harleen Deol (12) too could not hold on any longer, and India Women lost two wickets in 11 overs. At the moment, Richa Ghosh (36) and Harmanpreet Kaur (14) are batting at the crease, but the target is too far away.
