Phoebe Litchfield Registers Sensational Century

India's highest successful run chase came against Australia in 2021 when they chased down 266 runs. Earlier, Phoebe Litchfield scored her maiden World Cup hundred, as Australia posted a whopping 338 runs on the board. Alyssa Healy was dismissed cheaply, but it was Litchfield and Elysse Perry who kept tormenting the Indian bowlers.

Ashleigh Gardner also played a handy knock of 63 as Australia set up a tough target for the hosts. Litchfield particularly has a stellar record against India. The youngster has amassed 627 runs against Women In Blue in nine innings at an average of 69.66, with two centuries and 4 fifties.
