India Women Vs Australia Women LIVE Score, 1st T20I: Voll, Mooney Open Innings | AUS-W 20/0 (2)

India waste a review after Voll misses a scoop attempt off Gaud. Deepti is convinced about the caught behind appeal by the bowler, asking Harmanpreet to take the DRS, which she does at the end. UltraEdge shows a visible gap between bat and ball. The not out decision stays, and the umpire gives it as a wide – double whammy for India! The batter ends the over with a boundary.

A decent start for Australia, with Voll dispatching Renuka for back-to-back boundaries. The first one was just short of a six over mid-on, and the next ball was dispatched over midwicket.

After the delayed start due to wet outfield, the national anthems are done and the players come out on the pitch. Mooney and Voll will open the innings for Australia. Renuka with the new ball for India.

India Women: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Kranti Gaud, Sree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur.

Australia Women: Beth Mooney (wk), Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Sophie Molineux (c), Kim Garth, Darcie Brown.

Harmanpreet Kaur (IND-W): "Looking at the conditions we thought it was the right thing to bowl first."

Sophie Molineux (AUS-W): "I feel like with the bat we can make the most of the wet outfield."

The rainfall didn't last for long, and the players came back on the pitch. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bowl first.

The toss between India Women and Australia Women has been delayed due to rainfall, although it doesn't look to be too heavy.

The India Women's tour of Australia will have points system. A win in the white-ball matches (T20Is, ODIs) will give two points, while the winner of the day-night Test will get four points. The three T20Is will be played on February 15, 19, and 21, followed by the three ODIs on Feb 24, Feb 27, and March 1. The one-off Test will be played on March 6.

This is Sophie Molineux's first game in charge of the Australia T20 team. The change at the top came after Alyssa Healy's retirement from the shortest format. India also have a change in their squad, with Bharti Fulmali making her national team comeback after almost seven years.
