Over-by-over report: Australia’s women get their summer of cricket under way with a tough assignment in Brisbane. Join our writers for updates
What a disaster for India. They remodelled their side for this first match of the series and won the toss, electing to bat first under bright skies in Brisbane. But they never got going at any stage and lost steady wickets until coming completely undone in the final stages. Jemimah Rodrigues top-scored with 23 and only three of her teammates reached double-figures as India lost their last five wickets for just 11 runs.
Megan Schutt was the hero for Australia with 5-19, the first five wickets haul of her storied 92-game career. She got great support from Kim Garth , Ash Gardner , Alana King and Annabel Sutherland . The bowlers were superbly supported in the field with a wonderful run-out by Georgia Wareham and two cool catches by Litchfield contributing to India’s premature demise. Can Australia run down 101 for victory.
