Smriti Mandhana 24(17)
3.3
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, out Caught by Healy!! That's a (text) commentator's curse if there was one! After all those lovely shots, she falls to a very soft dismissal. Short and very wide, close to being wided and Mandhana somehow reaches this, and gets a tiny feather on the cut shot. Probably Brown's extra pace that does the trick here, because it was a buffet ball by all means. Healy holds onto the nick and a timely strike for Australia. Mandhana c Healy b Darcie Brown 24(17) [4s-5]
3.2
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, FOUR, a front-foot shot now to follow the back foot stroke previous ball. Knows that the bowler will go full and Mandhana walks down to loft it over mid-off. Shot of real authority and she has come out all guns blazing here. Ominous signs for Australia
3.1
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, FOUR, clubbed away! Fraction short from Brown and Mandhana is onto it in a flash. Rocks back and pulls it cleanly over mid-wicket. Almost went all the way
2.3
Gardner to Mandhana, 1 run, arm-ball that cramps Mandhana who was on the charge again, she goes through the shot and lifts this through the wide mid-on region. There is a sweeper at the cow corner fence
2.2
Gardner to Mandhana, no run, down the track goes Mandhana this time but Gardner drags the length back a bit, forcing the batter to defend
2.1
Gardner to Mandhana, FOUR, Mandhana takes on the spinner instantly! A hint of flight, she makes some room and easily chips this over mid-off. Easy pickings for the left-hander
1.6
Schutt to Mandhana, 1 run, full and wide, angling across Mandhana who drives firmly to deep point
1.5
Schutt to Mandhana, no run, pitched up outside off, Mandhana gets forward and drives to mid-off
1.3
Schutt to Mandhana, 1 run, almost a blinder by Haynes! Technically a dropped catch but that's being unfair to what was an outstanding effort from Australia's best fielder. Was a full and wide one, Mandhana sliced this uppishly and Haynes leapt full-stretch to get a hand on this. Saved a certain boundary and wasn't far from sending Mandhana back
1.2
Schutt to Mandhana, FOUR, uppish but just wide of Lanning at cover! Overpitched and Mandhana was a tad early into the booming drive. Just about found the gap and it races away to the fence. The sweeper is at deep point, so there was no stopping this once it went past the infield
1.1
Schutt to Mandhana, no run, full and around off, jammed out to cover
0.6
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, 1 run, banged in short and around the hips, Mandhana swivels and helps it away down to fine leg
0.5
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, no run, a ungainly hoick from Mandhana, so unlike her and this seams away past the swinging blade. Not always that you see her trying such shots early
0.4
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, no run, on a length around middle and leg, nudged to mid-wicket
0.3
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, FOUR, shot! Yorker gone wrong, low full toss and there is a hint of width, Mandhana plays her favourite square drive and pings the gap at backward point. Nicely done
0.2
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, no run, no room provided, on a good length, Mandhana dabs it towards cover
0.1
Darcie Brown to Mandhana, no run, full and around off, bunted to mid-off
