After 16 overs,Australia Women 144/4 ( Ellyse Perry 75 , Grace Harris 28)

Grace Harris has taken the attack to the Indian bowlers and how — tonking three sixes in a space of two overs to move to 28 off just 12 balls at the end of the 16th. Two of those sixes came in a 17-run third over from Gayakwad. Perry, meanwhile, is batting in the 70s at the moment, and will fancy her chances of going past the three-figure mark for the first time in her career.

After getting her innings going with singles, Harris decides to swing her arms as she slog-sweeps Vaidya through the midwicket region to end the 13th over with a boundary. Perry then continues to attack the bowlers in the following over, smashing Radha Yadav for a four and a six off successive deliveries, with a single coming off each of the remaining deliveries. Australia reach 115/4 at the end of the 14th, and will need to score at over 10-an-over if they are to go past the 180-mark today.
