Australia take unassailable 2-0 series lead with one match to play

2nd over: Australia 7-0 (Litchfield 4, Voll 3) Voll gets her first chance to face a delivery and she starts with a little poke out to point, which is fielded easily, before a play and miss on a good ball from Thakor. She starts to look a little frustrated at her inability to pierce the field just yet, Litchfield comes down the pitch to offer a few words of support. Finally Thakor bowls a looser delivery down leg side, that Voll manages to flick off her pads nearly to the boundary, but it’s fielded well by Punia on the boundary, and she gets three runs from it.

1st over: Australia 4-0 (Litchfield 4, Voll 0) No surprises that Thakur opens the bowling for India and she starts with a great ball, that Litchfield defends. But next ball, Litchfield gets the scoring underway, driving nicely to beat the fielder at mid-off and opening the scoring with a boundary. However, it’s a great recovery from Thakur and there are no more runs scored from the over.
