- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.3 length ball outside the off stump. This time she makes a mistake in going through with the stroke as the line was closer to the stumps. Not enough room to free her arms. She mistimes the lofted stroke to Kate Cross at long off. She was superb down the ground today. She got 44 of her 73 runs down the ground 126/22.3 and there's the first wicket! Big wicket of Smriti Mandhana! Short of a good length delivery around the leg stump. She spots the length early and rocks back to play the pull. She couldn't time the pull well and ended up playing the shot straight into the hands of the fielder, Simran, at deep midwicket 13/116.6 back of the hand slower ball down the leg stump line. Jemimah wants to go with the sweep but is beaten by the lack of pace as she ends dragging it to Sneh Rana at short fine-leg. Finally Sneh Rana manages to hold on to one! 157/319.6 short ball outside the off stump. She comes down the track and looks to play a lofted stroke She gets an outside edge to short third-man where the catch is taken 190/519.4 fuller and wider outside the off stump. She comes down the track and mistimes the loft stroke as it was too far from her and she had to reach out to play the stroke. Radha Yadav, who dropped an easy catch earlier off Simran, puts it a dive forward after coming running in and completes a superb catch 189/4Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL190/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.5)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.3 ov), 2-126 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 14.3 ov), 3-157 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 16.6 ov), 4-189 (Sophia Dunkley, 19.4 ov), 5-190 (Hayley Matthews, 19.6 ov)
