Renuka Singh provided India the early breakthrough as she had the big fish Alyssa Healy trapped lbw in the third over. However, Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney led a solid recovery with a 74-run partnership off just 47 deliveries.
Lanning got going with her typical slash for a boundary, albeit through a rare misfield on a day India were exceptional in the fielding department. The Australia captain made up for the earlier dots with a maximum over long-on and a four to third man to close out the powerplay on 43/1.
Who else for the breakthrough than Renuka Singh Thakur! 🔥
