Had A Platform To Get Ourselves Up Over 170; Let Ourselves Down A Little Bit With The New Ball, Rues Healy
Navi Mumbai: Australia captain Alyssa Healy has conceded her team was outplayed in their nine-wicket defeat to India in the T20I series opener and rued the missed chances of not getting above 170 with the bat, as well as of being off the mark with the new ball.
Fast-bowler Titas Sadhu emerged as the star for India with a four-wicket haul to bowl Australia out for 141 in 19.2 overs, despite Phoebe Litchfield top-scoring with 49. It was the first time Australia have been bowled out in a T20I game since March 2020.
In reply, openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma slammed fifties each to put a partnership of 137 runs for the first wicket. Though Smriti fell for 52, Shafali remained unbeaten on 64, as India chased down the total in 17.4 overs.
