1st ODI: Ellyse Perry, Phoebe Litchfield power Australia to easy win over India | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Even before she could settle in the dugout, Ellyse Perry was summoned in the middle on the fourth ball of Australia’s chase. With skipper Alyssa Healy back in the pavilion, and youngster Phoebe Litchfield at the other end, the onus was on her to set them up to chase a total of 282 — the highest ever put on by India women in ODIs against them.With the target still far away, the ideal approach would have been to block, get your eye in before putting back the pressure on the home side. But it’s Perry we are talking about. After facing just three balls, the 33-year-old allrounder hit Pooja Vastrakar for a four and a six in the second over to put India on the backfoot. Perry’s counter-attack, on a wicket that had freshened up under the lights, gave 20-year-old Litchfield the confiden...

Concussion sub Labuschagne leads Australia to comeback win over South Africa

Emergency replacement Marnus Labuschagne spearheaded Australia to a comeback win over South Africa in a one-day international. Labuschagne played only after Cameron Green suffered a head injury from a Marco Jansen 140 kph bouncer off his helmet before he scored. The concussion substitute was allowed in at five down and Labuschagne watched two more wickets fall as Australia collapsed to 113-7 in the 17th over.
