India Women vs Australia Women

Australia woman has been played inning and made 219 run with lose of all wickets. Now India woman team playing very well and they made 379 run with lose of 7 wickets. India woman team palying very well in both side batting and bowling India woman batting side S Mandhana paly very well and made 74 run in 106 balls and J Rodrigues made 73 run in 121 balls and D Sharma is high class player of India woman and she is  playing and his made  73 rrun And continues his innings.

Australia women all out in 219 score in first inning of test match. India women batting excellent they scored 376/7 in 119 overs ans lead by 157 runs. A huge lead for India women against the Australia women. Australia women bowlers Gardner took 4/100 in his bowling spell ane J. Jonassen also took 1/42. India women batting is excellent performance  D. Sharma scored 70* unbeaten in 147 balls and P. Vastrakar 33* took india women to another new level and leada 157 runs.

I never imagined that the Australian women's team would perform so badly. Because they have already lost all wickets by 219 runs, the main goal of Test playing is to keep the wickets for a long time. In that respect, Indian women's team is far ahead of Australia women's team as they have kept wickets till now. Indian Women's team players last which they performed very well Deepti Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar these two batsmen helped the team to score more runs. They have managed to score 157 more runs as they lead the team. Their pair will last longer because they are the best in terms of performance.

[Out of mind]

Australia were bowled out for 219 runs against India Women's team on the first day of the Test match, which is basically bad for the Australian women's team. However, India women's team batted in the second innings today and gave a lead of 157 runs, losing seven wickets. Although India women team players played very well today, and we can say that if Australia team can match the lead given by India and make a great score yesterday, then it will be tough for India women team. In today's game, India women's team is unbeaten with 357 runs and losing 7 wickets. Surely they will score better runs on the second day and can give a good lead.

The match is currently in big favor of the Indian women’s team. The best outcome for the Australian Women's team would be a draw. Deepti Sharma is currently unbeaten 70 runs and could be scoring the first hundred of the match tomorrow. Pooja Vastrakar is also looking good with 30 runs. India could even score 500 runs at this point. The only one who is performing in Australia’s squad is Ashleigh Gardner who got 4 wickets.

I thought Australia as a test team would be better than India but current scores in the game are surprising me.

The match of Pakistan and Victoria 11 was not in the best of postion for Pakistan, The Pakistan team were all out on 323 runs. They are trying to build a grip for more runs but the Pakistan team's luck is not good so that's why they are all out on just some runs and cannot make a partnership, but Australian bowlers direct attack on their wickets so we cannot see the batting of Pakistan.

Saud Shakeel and Rizwan played well but both have retired hurt, and Sarfraz is the captain for today because Shan Masood didn't play this match.

Australians domestic teams are also strong like there test team. Pakistani team was only able to play 79 overs against Victoria XI. I don't know how two batsmen got retired hurt, fitness is getting an issue for Pakistan in this series. Saud shakeel was highest runs scorer from Pakistan with 70 runs. No century from any Pakistani in this innings. Jordan Buckingham (23 years) was able to get 5 wickets in first innings. Four days tour matches usually dont have any result they are just to improve your statistics.    

[Compromise me]

The wrong thing is that Babar Azam and Shan Masood didn't play this match even the captain didn't play this match. Shan Masood's recent performance is not good so that's why he takes the excuse of rest but in reality, he has been scared to play because if he doesn't play well so he knows then people what to do with him.

Many people didn't accept him as a captain because he had been made a captain in the reference. He did not deserve an able person for the captaincy when Babar Azam was the captain so sometimes he also didn't play well but he at least he tried and not like Shan Masood who never look in good form.

In my opinion.Shan Masood is good test cricketer and he played very excellent in difficult situations. I am very surprised to hear the words against Shan Masood which is good player and he is deserving captain. But fitness is very important to play cricket against big teams like Australia. Shan Masood is a brave batsman. When he will fit ,he will show his form to all World. But my question is for you. Why you are against Pakistani test batsman and Test captain Shan Masood?

You should see the Statistics in last 3 - 4 years. His performance on domestic and International level is excellent and he can give the base to Pakistani team.

After having huge success against England now Indian Women's are in complete control of this only test against Australia which is playing at the Wankhede with in first inning Australian Women's were bowled out for 219 impressive bowling from the Pooja Vastrakar and Sneh Rana which not allowed any Australian player to stay at crease and done something for team veteran Mooney and Tahlia McGrath were able to have some respectable runs.

In reply today we have good batting from the Indian team, and now they are having 150+ runs lead which is going to be match winning for them Mandhana, Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma completed their half centuries which bring them to driving seat in this only test match to win.

The Indian Women game was good enough by the selection committee effort,because the continuous winning make them more visible to the world cricket community.The first innings was great start from the India team,because it’s hard to see the team Australia with 219/10 in the test series.We should agree the bowling of the Indian woman cricket team was good for now.The Australian players was struggling to complete the 250,but the Indian team had crossed the 370 runs in a short while.

So the pitch is not favourable to the bowling,only the bowling of Indian team was good enough.From the beginning the batting of the team India was dedicated and disciplined one.Because the batting against the Australia was hard to many of team to score the 350 runs in the first innings.

Good day at work for the Indian Girls, they absolutely dominated the day except for those 10 minutes when they lost the 3 quick wickets of Ghosh, Kaur and Bhatia. Followed by Jemimah's wicket.

In those 10-15 mins, the Indian team gave an opening to the Aussie attack, which wasn't required at all (killer instinct is missing) because the Indian girls were dominating and Aussie could've made a fine comeback in the match but thanks to Deepti and Vastrakar they got a healthy lead and this might turn into match winning partnership.

This team is looking good and fitness is improving but still a long way to go. Running between the wickets was so depressing to watch and if we set aside Jemimah for a second then everyone else seemed casual with their running, you don't want that. Even skipper Kaur is ridiculously lazy with her running, I'd say she's the worst despite being a good athlete. Mandhana also needs to watch her run-out clip.

It's not like the Aussies were any better today, there were many village cricket moments throughout the day on the field, which was surprising.

Four days tour matches usually dont have any result they are just to improve your statistics.    

I am having no doubt about this Australian domestic teams are one of the best but still you need to check all details before writing anything this is two day match and both batsmen retired hurt after completing their 50+ runs with this match is going to be played on Pakistan team request for the batting practice and tomorrow we will have Victoria XI on batting with this will also give Pakistani bowlers some practice as well.

Both Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan completed their fifties and then gone for having better chance for other batsmen and few bowlers from the Victoria XI done good bowling which create problems for the Pakistani team even I have feeling this is not going to help them on Boxing Day test match which is going to play at Melbourne.

Shan Masood is a brave batsman. When he will fit ,he will show his form to all World. But my question is for you. Why you are against Pakistani test batsman and Test captain Shan Masood?

You should see the Statistics in last 3 - 4 years. His performance on domestic and International level is excellent and he can give the base to Pakistani team.

When you have non-professional peoples in control and players are doing role like puppets then we can't expect anything better even Shan Masood is good test player, but he needs to lead from front which is surely needed on this difficult tour as well, but he is doing things which are creating problems for the Pakistan team and not playing in this practice game is surely not ideal for the both senior players as both are lack of practice and form as well.
Pakistani selectors are playing dirty games with having youths which are not capable of doing good on this tour selecting them and now having injuries and other problems specially with few injuries which can end youngsters career they are not doing anything for this which is terrible for them and their future.

Australia Women's Tour of India. Only Test, Wankhede, December 21 - 24, 2023. Australia Women's 1st Innings collection 219 runs losing all of the wickets. 219 runs was a poor collection for text match. For Aus- W, the highest run collector was Tahlia McGrath 50 runs from 56 balls including 8 fours, and for India, the most wickets hunter was Pooja Vastrakar 4 wickets from 16 overs including 2 maidens and given only 53 runs. On the other hand, in India Women's 1st Innings, India collects a better score of 376/7 and gives a good lead to Australia Women's lead by 157 runs by Smriti Mandhana 74, Richa Ghosh 52, Jemimah Rodrigues 73, Deepti Sharma 70. I hope Deepti Sharma reaches the score of 100 runs. Advance congratulations to Deepti Sharma for the upcoming Century. Wish the Indian Women's team all the best.

One off test Australia women om 41/0 in 10 overs Aus-W are trail by 146 runs and 1st session going on of day 3 indian women playing excellent in 1st inning made 406 runs and lead by 187 runs to Australia women. india women most chances to win this match because they are playing on their home and lead many runs in 1st innings Aus-W need to play fasy on day 3 and save his wickets and gave target 340 plus runs to indian women to won this match the way they are playing match should have been drawn

Australia are at 63/2 and they still need another 124 runs to avoid an innings defeat. They just lost two quick wickets - that of Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield. As of now, Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath are at the crease against the Indian spinners. And for India, it is spin from both the ends. Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana are up against Perry and McGrath. Outcome of the match is pretty clear as of now. Only question is whether Australian women will be able to avoid an innings defeat or not. And IMO, they will not be able to do that.

Saud Shakeel and Rizwan played well but both have retired hurt, and Sarfraz is the captain for today because Shan Masood didn't play this match.

Pakistan's team has been crazy, they made the captain to Sajid Khan for this match against Victoria 11, how is it possible many people even didn't know his face and name before this captaincy?

He is a good player but not like he deserves able captaincy. He is a bowling all-rounder, and he record is average but it is more than less than average because his strike rate in bowling is 75 runs and in batting, he had a strike rate of 43 something so this is not a good.

If Sarfraz is a captain so it's much better for him, Sarfraz gave Pakistan the Champions trophy when Pakistan's ODI rank was 8, and Pakistan also won 11 domestic series in the captaincy of Sarfraz.

India women's team is likely to win this test match. Because the Australian women's team has already lost two wickets for ninety-three runs.The Australian women's team is still 94 runs behind the Indian women's team.If the Australian women's team wants to win this match, they will have to score 94 runs and target the Indian women's team again.Then the Indian women's team will come to bat and collect the runs that the Australian women's team will target and they will be able to win.

India managed to collect 406 runs in their first innings. So Australia must score 450+ runs in the second innings if they want to win.
After losing the first wicket for 49 runs, the Australian team lost the second wicket for 56 runs. Australia did not get a better performance than the two openers. But now Ellyese Perry and Tahlia McGrath are batting very responsibly. Perry scored 35 off 65 balls and McGrath remained unbeaten on 27 off 59 balls. After losing 2 wickets, Australia's collection is now 119 runs. Still behind India by 68 runs.

Australia does not want to lose against India. Australian batsmen batted very badly in the first innings. They collected only 219 runs in total. On the other hand, India women's team collected 406 runs. The Indian team was able to take a big lead. But the Australian batsmen are batting well in the second innings. Perry and McGrath are batting very well. Australia has already collected 84 runs from this partnership. Now Australia has collected 140 runs with the loss of 2 wickets. Australia has a chance to win if they can set a target of 200+ runs.

I was thinking that hardly the Indian women team will reach to 350 runs but Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma both bowlers pull the score above 400. Pooja Vastrakar Also collected 4 wickets in first innings.
And now Australian women team is playing. They have lost 3 wickets on 142 runs they have trial of 45 runs. I think Australia will give almost 150 runs lead to India and I hope that India will chase that target easily. India needs to collect more wickets if they want to win this match.

My estimate was that India's innings would stop between 300-350. But the performance of Australia's bowlers was not good. Due to responsible batting by Deepti Sharma and Pooja, India scored a huge total of 406. The Indian team was able to take a huge lead of 187 runs. If Australia can't give at least 250+ target then their chances of winning are very slim. Because Indian batsmen are very confident now. Chances are high that they will play well in the second innings as well.
Ellyse Perry was dismissed for 46 runs. Australia lost their third wicket for 140 runs. Australia team is still behind India by 31 runs.

Indian team is doing the right thing they are not allowing any Australian batter to settle. In second innings Australians have lost 3 wickets and they are still 31 runs behind Indian first innings total of 406. Its tea of day three and we have 2 more days to go so defiantly we will see a result. 150 wont be enough target to win the game, Australians need to give a target of around 300 to remain in the match which seems not possible at the moment.
