17.3 Nicley timed by Deepti Sharma. That was drifting down the leg side, Deepti pulls it fine on the leg side. The fielder at deep square leg dived hard, but the ball was too quick to be stopped.
17.5 Another boundary! This time on the off side, chopped through the backward point region by Deepti Sharma.
India: 142/5 after 18 overs

India W vs Australia W LIVE:
16.5 Richa Ghosh is gone after a swashbuckling innings. Richa once again went down the track, but Garnder was smart enough and kept it a bit wide on the off side. Healy collects the ball and disrupts the stumps before Richa can get back. She was down on her knees and that only made the situation worse for her. Remember, Richa Ghosh will be a part of the inaugural women's under-19 World Cup. Richa Ghosh 36 (20) st Alyssa Healy b Ashleigh Garnder

India W vs Australia W LIVE:
9.4 Harmanpreet Kaur has smashed one through the leg side. Way too short delivery from Sutherland and the Indian skipper rolls her arms and pulls it through the backward square leg region.
India: 71/3 after 10 overs
19:41 (IST)
India vs Australia Women LIVE:
Harmanpreet Kaur will be the key from here to make sure India post a significant total after 20 overs. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma gave a good start but tried to play shots a bit too many and lost their wickets. Smriti especially could have tried to consolidate a bit more after the end of powerplay.

India vs Australia Women LIVE:
7.6 Annabel Sutherland proves to be a nightmare for Smriti Mandhana! Mandhana tries to cut a good length delivery through the point but finds Beth Mooney at point who completes a straight forward catch. Smriti Mandhana was not looking at her best, and is dismissed.

India vs Australia Women LIVE:
22 dot balls in the first seven overs for India - that is more than 50% of the balls faced, but the sixes (2) and fours (8) have complemented well for India to go at eight runs per over!

4.5 Excellent over from Ellyse Perry, cramped Jemimah with four dot balls before getting her out on the fifth delivery. The fifth delivery was a short one, Jemimah tried to pull it but just managed a top edge and Sutherland took an easy catch at mid-on. Jemimah Rodrigues c Annabel Sutherland b Ellyse Perry 0(6)

India vs Australia Women LIVE:
2.5 Ellyse Perry strikes! Shafali's carnage has ended as Australia have the first strike and some sort of relief. Angled in delivery, Shafali was cramped for room, and could only manage to get her glove trying to direct it towards fine leg. Healy dives to her left and completes a good catch. Shafali Verma c Alyssa Healy b Elysse Perry 21(10)
India: 28/1 after 3 overs

Alright, national anthems are done. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are out in the middle. Australians are taking their positions. Live action just moments away! Shafali takes the strike.

India vs Australia Women Toss:
Alyssa Healy: We haven't played here before, but it looks like a good wicket to chase and hopefully we can make inroads in India's batting order. It has been long time since we have been here. We have got a debutant in Kim Garth.
Harmanpreet Kaur: We wanted to definitely bowl first, but I have not got good experience at the toss, so my team is not much dependent on the toss and that is a positive. Anjali to debut for India, she is a good bowler. We want to continue with good momentum.
