http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 Women, who chose to bat first after winning the toss, had a commendable start to their innings with openers PG Raut and MDT Kamini smacking 47 runs, before Australia’s ML Schutt struck by dismissing Kamini for 30.
The next partnership between Raut and MR Meshram was even more fruitful as India managed to post 101 runs, before suffering the demise of their second wicket on the departure of Raut for 31.
This triggered a mild batting collapse as India lost two more wickets in the next over with MR Meshram perishing for 25 and KV Jain for nil.
Australia then sought a rapid comeback with the girls in gold grabbing their fifth wicket with 116 runs on the board, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hugh-Morris-c63550 Kaur lost her wicket after scoring ten runs.
