Renuka Thakur too has been smashed for a few boundaries now!

4.3 A good length delivery, but Mooney smashes it back over the bowler and the ball races away to straight boundary for four runs.

4.5 Another good length delivery on the pads, Mooney just tries to place it through the leg side. That was timed exquisitely, and the lack of fielder on the leg side made sure that the ball raced away for another boundary.

India W vs Australia W LIVE:
India women seem to have adopted the approach their male counterparts have been talking through all the while. A swashbuckling batting display right through the 20 overs and India have posted a formidable looking 172 on the scoreboard. Australia have a task at hand to chase the total. It will be interesting to see if the conditions become more favourable for batters while chasing. Dew can definitely prove to be a factor under the floodlights.

16.5 Richa Ghosh is gone after a swashbuckling innings. Richa once again went down the track, but Garnder was smart enough and kept it a bit wide on the off side. Healy collects the ball and disrupts the stumps before Richa can get back. She was down on her knees and that only made the situation worse for her. Remember, Richa Ghosh will be a part of the inaugural women's under-19 World Cup. Richa Ghosh 36 (20) st Alyssa Healy b Ashleigh Garnder
