Litchfield Says Batters Must Take ‘more Ownership’ And Are ‘keen To Rectify Things’ Ahead Of 2nd T20I Vs India
ODI World Cup: Phoebe Litchfield has called on Australia’s batting team to adopt more accountability and purpose ahead of a vital T20I against India in Canberra. As the series hangs in the balance, Litchfield highlighted the need for batters to take ownership instead of depending on lower-order players.
Australia experienced a heavy loss in the first match in Sydney, signalling a disappointing beginning under new captain Sophie Molineux. This defeat puts the hosts close to their first home bilateral T20I series loss in nearly ten years, increasing the urgency to improve in the remaining games.
After recovering from a quad injury sustained during the WPL, Litchfield faced a tough start at the crease. She struggled to score from her first eight balls, including a maiden over bowled by Renuka Singh. Nevertheless, she found her rhythm and scored 26 off 19 balls before being dismissed by Arundhati Reddy during a middle-order collapse. Georgia Wareham showed some resistance with a top score of 30, but Australia’s innings quickly fell apart as they lost their last five wickets for just 12 runs, ending the match inside 18 overs.
