Superb fielding by Australia too! 

LIVE | IND: 73/2 in 12 overs vs AUS

IND-W vs AUS-W LIVE Score: It could be trouble for India as Smriti Mandhana is dismissed! A review went well for Australia; the ball was close to Smriti's bat, and the UltraEdge showed a spike. Mandhana wasn't fussed about it earlier, but she was left in disbelief with the decision.

LIVE | AUS: 336/9/6 in 49.3 overs vs IND

IND-W vs AUS-W LIVE Score: What a century it would be from Litchfield. She is on 95 and looking good. India would like to see the back of her as soon as possible.

IND-W vs AUS-W LIVE Score: Perry and Litchfield have already brought up a 100-run stand and it has been at a very good pace. Australia are currently dominating the game and India desperately need a breakthrough to stage a comeback. 

IND-W vs AUS-W LIVE Score: Amanjot Kaur comes into the attack in the 19th over of the match. Her main job would be to contain the Australian batters in the middle. Can she pick up a wicket in the bargain? LIVE | AUS: 115/1 in 18.1 overs vs Ind
