- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR20.3 well she has given away the wicket here. Deepti Sharma was looking to settle down and the onus was on her to get the boundaries - she has faced 60-balls after all. She comes down the track and lofts it to Wellington at mid-off. She struggled through the innings and her strike-rate has not let the team keep up with the required run-rate 99/217.5 how big a moment is this ? Her strokes were so pure that she was, at times, getting away with poorly timed strokes. That happened because those deliveries were away from the line of the stumps. This time, Jonassen is closer to the line of the stumps. Smriti looks to for the slog sweep. She gets the toe end of the bat, resulting in a top-edge to fine-leg where Schutt takes the catch 88/135.3 fuller ball outside the off stump. She comes down the track and lofts it to long-off where Lanning takes the catch 168/624.4 how much did the Aussies want this wicket? Perry pitches it short and bowls it slower than usual. Mithali is drawn into the pull and gets a top edge back to the keeper. 123/332 fuller ball outside the off stump. She is looking to slog it over long-on. She gets a top edge right next to the pitch. The keeper runs across and takes the catch. Big wicket this 155/433.2 flighted ball outside the off stump. Veda is looking for the big shot. The turn beats her and the bounce is such that Healy takes in on shoulder level. She brings the hands down in a flash and whips the bails off. Veda is stumped as the pressure of the chase started to show 159/536 fuller ball on the middle stump. She was playing the angle and looking to turn it away on the leg side. She gets a leading edge back to the bowler. No bowler in the world would drop this 170/741.3 fuller ball outside the off stump. Shikha slices it straight to Jonassen at point 197/847.2 short ball outside the off stump. She looks to cut it and gets an outside edge back to the keeper who is tanding up to the stumps 223/949.2 looks to defend and is beaten. She is struck in line with the stumps and is plumb in front 227/10Extras9 (lb 3, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL227 all out (49.2 Overs, RR: 4.6)Fall of wickets: 1-88 (Smriti Mandhana, 17.5 ov), 2-99 (Punam Raut, 20.3 ov), 3-123 (Mithali Raj, 24.4 ov), 4-155 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 31.6 ov), 5-159 (Veda Krishnamurthy, 33.2 ov), 6-168 (Deepti Sharma, 35.3 ov), 7-170 (Sushma Verma, 35.6 ov), 8-197 (Shikha Pandey, 41.3 ov), 9-223 (Pooja Vastrakar, 47.2 ov), 10-227 (Poonam Yadav, 49.2 ov)
