MATCH: Australia Women vs India Women
DATE: December 08,Sunday
TIME: 5:15 AM IST
VENUE: Allan Border Field, Brisbane
TOURNAMENT:2nd WODI 2024
Australia Women (AUS-W) registered a sensational five-wicket victory in the first ODI of the three-match series against India Women (IND-W) on Thursday. The hosts are currently 1-0 up in the series, with two more games to be played. Both teams will meet again at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, on Sunday, December 8.
Nothing went as planned for the visitors in the series opener as they suffered a disappointing batting collapse after winning the toss. Australian pacer Megan Schutt who looked in fine touch claimed her career-best figures of 5/19. For India, Jemimah Rodrigues was the highest run-scorer with 23 runs under her belt but failed to build a strong partnership with any other batter, as the tourists were bowled out for 100 runs in 34.2 overs
In reply, the opening partnership of 48 runs between Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll laid the foundation for a solid win. But Renuka Singh and Priya Mishra worried the Aussies briefly as they claimed three and two wickets, respectively. Eventually, the hosts reached the target with five wickets and 202 balls to spare.
With the second match at the same venue, Australia will be confident and will aim to clinch the win to gain an unassailable lead in the three-match assignment. While the visitors have a great challenge ahead and will be looking to bounce back in the series for an equalizer.

AUS-W vs IND-W Probable Top Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Georgia Voll
Australian opener Georgia Voll could be the best batter in the second ODI against Indian women. The 21-year-old in the first ODI played an unbeaten knock of 46 which guided her side to a win. In her 42 deliveries innings, she smashed the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground and laced her innings with six boundaries and one six. In the upcoming game, Voll will look to play similarly and guide her team to yet another win.
Probable Best Bowler: Megan Schutt
Australia’s Megan Schutt could be the best bowler in the next game against the visiting Indian side. The right-arm pacer in the last game registered a five-wicket haul, leaving the Indian batting line-up in tatters. The Aussie claimed (5/19 ) her career-best figures in the 50-over format and will be hoping to carry on the same momentum.
