Ind W vs Aus W, 4th T20I: Australia beat India by 7 runs, take unassailable 3-1 lead | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Richa Ghosh's whirlwind knock of 40* off 19 balls proved not enough as Australia held their nerves in the end to eke out a narrow seven-run win over India and seal the five-match series 3-1 with one game to go. Chasing a huge 189-run target, Indian openers failed again to give their team a good start with both Smriti Mandhana (16) and Shafali Verma (20) falling inside the powerplay. But skipper Harmanpreet Kaur used all her experience and kept India in the hunt by adding a 72-run stand with Devika Vaidya for the fourth wicket.

3rd T20I: Australia women go 2-1 up with 21-run win over India women | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: India's batting frailties were exposed again as Australia women produced a clinical performance to register a comfortable 21-run victory in the third T20 International on Wednesday. Australia now lead the five-match series 2-1. India were comfortably placed at 106 for 2 in their pursuit of 173, courtesy 73-run second wicket stand between Shafali Verma and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur.

Ind vs Aus Women’s 2nd T20I | Indian bowlers need to come up with a better show to bounce back in the series

Deepti Sharma plays a shot during the first women’s Twenty20 international cricket match between India and Australia at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai on December 9, 2022. | Photo Credit: AFP A 15-ball 36 not out, in a total of 172 for five, would normally be a match-winning innings in a Women’s T20I.

We’ve to rectify our silly mistakes: Deepti Sharma | Cricket News – Times of India

NAVI MUMBAI: Star India all-rounder Deepti Sharma blamed their "silly mistakes", especially while fielding, for the nine-wicket defeat to Australia in the opening T20I of the five-match series here. After setting Australia a target of 173, India's fielding was sloppy and Radha Yadav gave Beth Mooney a reprieve, before the opener slammed a match-winning 57-ball 89 to seal the win with 11 balls to spare at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday. "The total was very good, but I think we could have fielded a bit better. We also gave away a few loose balls. We have to improve our 'silly mistakes' to make a comeback and level the series," the left-hander, who hit a 15-ball 36 not out, to power India to 172/5 said at the post-match media interaction. "But wins and losses will happen. We had a simple a...

Ind W vs Aus W 1st T20I: Beth Mooney fashions Australia women’s nine-wicket win over India | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Indian bowlers failed to compliment their batters' good performance as Australia chased down a 173-run target with utmost ease to register a comprehensive nine-wicket victory in the first T20 International on Friday. Australia took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After Deepti Sharma (36* off 15) and Richa Ghosh's (36 off 20) late onslaught propelled India to a 172/5, Aussie opener Beth Mooney made a mockery of Indian bowling with her emphatic knock of unbeaten 89 off 57 balls and led the visitors home with 11 balls remaining. Mooney smashed 16 fours during her stay in the middle, and was helped by Tahlia McGrath's unbeaten 29-ball 40, which included four boundaries and two sixes.

Bowler has the right to take bails off if non striker is leaving crease early: Glenn Phillips | Cricket News – Times of India

SYDNEY: "It's my responsibility to make sure that I'm in the crease and leave at the right time," said New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips, adding that the bowlers are well within their rights to take off the bails if the non-striker is backing up. During New Zealand's T20 World Cup match against Sri Lanka, towards the end of his innings Phillips was seen squatting in a sprinter's stance at the non-striker's end and the moment Lahiru Kumara released the delivery, he rushed towards the striker's end. "From a sprinter's start when you're trying not to be out of the crease as much as possible -- there's been a lot going around about Mankads and leaving the crease," Phillips said at the post-match press conference after New Zealand's win over Sri Lanka. "At the end of the day, it's my respons...
