Match Analysis
The match momentum shifted dramatically in the Powerplay of the second innings. After India posted a formidable 176, Australia’s chase started with an 18-run first over. However, the tactical shift to introduce Shreyanka Patil in the second over proved decisive; she removed Georgia Voll and later Ellyse Perry, breaking the hosts’ backbone.
While the middle overs were dominated by a 121-run stand between Mandhana and Rodrigues, the death overs saw a late India collapse, losing 4 wickets for just 13 runs. However, the pitch behavior favored spin in the second half, allowing Shree Charani and Shreyanka to choke the scoring rate. Australia’s Dot-ball % rose to 48% in the middle overs, a rare sight for their aggressive lineup.
