Australians Win Again

Jess Cameron

The Australian Women's team continues to enjoy success in India, taking a 2-0 lead in the T20 series, following their 3-0 drubbing of the Indians in the ODI series.

In the latest match at Visakhapatnam, India batted first but a breezy start from Amita Sharma (28 off 16 balls) was ended by a Julie Hunter run out and from there, the India could never score fast enough to set the Australians a competitive total. The five and a half per over target was passed in comfort by Jess Cameron (68 off 54) after she added 98 with Meg Lanning (40 off 39).

The remaining matches in the series will be played at the same venue, with third match to be played tomorrow.

"Alastair has been the rock of England's batting for the last 12 years since he made his debut and while we are all sad to see him retire, we must rejoice in what he has done for our country," Graham Gooch (4/9/18)
"That's my opinion: we've either got to say, 'it's all out there, warts and all', or put out what he recommended we should do going forward, because to me, that's the key. It's about what we can do in the future to make the game better, not necessarily what we've done wrong in the past." Mark Taylor, talking about the review of Australian cricket culture. (2/9/18)
