Well, that was dominant. Australia’s young bowlers did the
Job early, Darcie Brown picking up 4 for 33 from her nine overs, then Hannah Darlington got 2 for 29 from eight. More to the point was how Darlington squeezed the scoring. So did everyone, really, except Ellyse Perry who bowled 10 wides today. The upshot was that they didn’t bowl
India out, but still restricted them to 225 for 8, with 45 of those runs coming in a late dash between Richa Ghosh and Goswami.
Sophie Molineux 2 for 39 from nine. Georgia Wareham bowled her full 10 overs for 36 runs. Ash Gardner’s four overs cost 12.
