India Women and Australia Women will lock horns for the second T20I at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, December 11. The Women in Blue put up a great show in the first innings of the previous game as Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma propelled India to 172/5 in 20 overs. But the visitors proved why they’re the world champions across formats and chased down the 173-run target with ease to take a 1-0 lead.
Skipper Alyssa Healy and opening batter Beth Mooney provided their side with a flying start. Healy’s wicket was the only one Indian bowlers could manage to get as Mooney and Tahlia McGrath shared a brilliant partnership to finish off the chase early. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has got a great combination and thus will be looking to level the series.

Probable Best Performers from IND-W vs AUS-W
Probable best batter: Beth Mooney
The Australian opener is unstoppable once she gets going with the bat. She scored an unbeaten 57-ball 89 in the first game which took Australia to a magnificent nine-wicket win. She will be at her best again and will emerge as the top performer with the bat.
Probable best bowler: Ellyse Perry
The all-rounder is in great form since the Women’s Big Bash League. She was among the top performers for her side and led her team really well before losing in the finals. In the first T20I too, she picked up two crucial wickets to keep the Indian batters on the edge.
