Australia Takes Early Lead in Women’s ODI vs India

Australia opened the women's ODI at Allan Border Field with a 1‑0 advantage after a dominant first over by Schutt. The experienced South Australian, who was not in the original squad, delivered a tight over, taking a wicket and leaving India stranded at 0‑1. India’s openers, Mandhana and Verma, were unable to score, with Verma mistiming a drive and the DRS not saving her. Schutt’s second ball swung in, hit a good line and length, and jags massively off the pitch, pinning Rawal on the crease. The start was a clear statement from Australia.
