Nicola Hancock, Grace Parsons Shine As Australia 'A' Beat India ‘A’ By 8 Wickets
Allan Border Field: Leg-spinner Grace Parsons took four wickets, while pacer Nicola Hancock grabbed three scalps as the duo set the base for Australia ‘A’ to get an eight-wicket win over India ‘A’ and take an unassailable 2-0 series lead at the Allan Border Field on Friday.
The Grace-Nicola combination taking seven wickets for 44 from eight overs was instrumental for Australia ‘A’ in keeping India ‘A’ to a modest 130/9 in 20 overs. In reply, Tahlia Wilson (53 not out) and captain Tahlia McGrath (47 not out) steered Australia A to chasing down the target with 10 balls to spare.
In the first innings, openers Priya Punia and Shweta Sehrawat hit some boundaries, before the latter fell to Nicola when a top-edge was grabbed by Nicole Faltum, who ran to her left to complete an excellent running catch. Raghvi Bist didn’t make most of her promotion to number three to become Grace’s first scalp of the match, while Sajana Sajeevan was castled by Kate Peterson.
