    Australia are plugging away here by taking wickets are regular intervals. Australia will be incredibly happy that the drop catch did no harm, as we often see a drop catch followed by a four or a six.

    A Kaur c Molinuex b Gardner 16 (Ind 327-8)

    No mistake this time. Amanjot Kaur slices to cover and Sophie Molineux takes the catch.

    A dropped catch by an Australian! Mark this alongside Bigfoot as things you so rarely see.

  4. Ind 320-7published at 47 overs

    As we've said, there's only been one 300+ chase in women's ODIs but against Australia you need every run you can get. It's a big last three overs.

    Brilliant plan there from Australians. Sophie Molineux knew exactly what she was doing, and Deepti Sharma's shot had elevation but not quite the distance.

  6. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 46.4 overs

    Deepti c Mooney b Molineux 1 (Ind 320-7)

    Another wicket for those in yellow. India aren't quite finishing with the flurry they're after.

    Deepti Sharma, who had managed only one from six balls, is caught at long-on.

  7. Ind 315-6published at 46 overs

    Australia scored 412 against this India team a few weeks ago, albeit batting first. These final four overs will be crucial in setting the momentum.

    India were flying before Ghosh got out...

    I'm not convinced Australia are entirely aware of the extent of their peril in this match... too little, too late with these wickets and celebrations. The game is surely already lost?

  9. Ind 312-6published at 45.2 overs

    Australia have turned back to off-spinner Ash Gardner, largely because left-handed Deepti Sharma is in. The crowd has just quietened into a lull a touch.

    I thought that was out. Deepti Sharma will be breathing a sigh of relief after that. Australians were celebrating like it was a matter of fact.

  11. Not outpublished at 45 overs

    It was one of those where the fielder - this time the wicketkeeper - is lurching forward trying to get their fingers under the ball.

    The TV umpire says Healy has failed to do so. Deepti Sharma survives.

    Alyssa Healy claimed the catch but it looks like it has bounced...

    This looks like another for Annabel Sutherland.

    Deepti Sharma appears to have been caught behind if the ball has carried.

    Beautiful back of the hand delivery there from Annabel Sutherland. Jemimah Rodrigues was not able to adjust to the pace of the ball, and she just gave herself too much room for the heave.

    WICKETpublished at 44.5 overs

    Rodrigues c Mooney b Sutherland 33 (Ind 309-6)

    Annabel Sutherland strikes back. She's majestic. Amid all the noise, having just been scooped brilliantly for four, she goes back to her trusty slower ball and Jemimah Rodrigues skies a catch to mid-off.

  16. Ind 309-5published at 44.4 overs

    Brilliant. Annabel Sutherland has done nothing wrong here but Jemimah Rodrigues scoops it for four.

  17. Ind 305-5published at 44.3 overs

    Annabel Sutherland's 2-34 from 8.3 overs is looking very handy right now.

  18. How's stat?!published at 13:31 BST 12 October 2025

    There has been only one successful chase of over 300 in women's ODIs. That came when Sri Lanka chased down 302 to beat South Africa at Potchefstroom in April 2024.

  19. Ind 302-5published at 44 overs

    Amanjot Kaur will run harder than Richa Ghosh. That may help Jemimah Rodrigues too. Expect plenty of scampering as well as the boundary hitting.

    Good comeback from Molinuex after the boundary.

  20. Ind 299-5published at 43.2 overs

    Raf told you... Amanjot Kaur crashes her first ball for four! The charge remains on.
