India Women vs Australia Women 2nd T20I Highlights: IND beat AUS by 4 runs in SUPER OVER

22:57 (IST)

India W vs Australia W Live:

That will draw curtains to an excellent match, one of the best in women's cricket in recent times and the facts speak for itself!

- First Super Over that Indian women were involved in.

- First match that Australia have lost in 2022!

This has been great exhibition for women's cricket, especially with women's IPL round the corner. And we have seen some brilliant performances from Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh! Seems unfair to the other teams that they will be participating in the inaugural under-19 World Cup!

Nothing much needs to be said about Smriti Mandhana - she has been doing it for years and has once again shown why she is one of the best at top of the order! Smriti has now also registered the highest number of half-centuries in second innings in T20Is.

Alright then, onto the next match - with a gap of just one day on Tuesday. The two sides are levelled after 2 games and will face at the Brabourne Stadium. Do not forget to tune in then. Untill then, have a good time and a good night!

Harmanpreet Kaur, India Captain | We kept backing ourselves. We learnt a lot from the previous game. If someone could get a bit more, then we could have got even 200. So that was the plan today, to back ourselves. I was always backing her (Richa Ghosh), even when she wasn't getting runs. Today we saw what we could do with her power-hitting. Fielding is something we need to keep working at, we gave too many runs today. Bowling was better today because this wicket was too easy to bat on, nothing for the bowlers. Fielding is the only thing we need to improve from today.

22:47 (IST)

Smriti Mandhana, Player of the Match | Chasing, I think everyone in the Indian team enjoys. We also need to work on setting totals though. When they were batting, I realised that it was an amazing wicket, I had my eyes on a big score. Happy to see such wickets prepared for women's cricket, you'll get high scores and high run chases. I think this is one of the most entertaning games we've all been a part of.

22:45 (IST)

Alyssa Healy, Australia Captain | Missed a bit with the ball tonight and they cashed in. What a great advertisement for women's cricket this has been, with 40,000 people here tonight. I think we missed a bit with the ball, gave them a chase. We did well to hang in there in the end and get it to the Super Over, India were all over us in that chase. We fought well to get us to that position, fought till the very end.
