Led by captain Radha Yadav's three-wicket haul, India kept things tight and never let Aussies get away with the scoring rate while also taking wickets at regular interval. India gave away just 37 runs in the powerplay and after that also did not let Australia score freely. Towards the end Sianna Ginger hit 17 off 7 to take Australia to 144/8. Prema Rawat also picked up three scalps.

India's reply was off to a good start thanks to a rapid 41 from Shafali Verma. She hit six fours and a six in her 21-ball knock to bring the required run rate under seven. However, no other Indian batter could hit big leading to an avoidable loss.

The two sides will now head to a three-match ODI series starting Wednesday, August 13.
