India Women vs Australia Women – Only Test – Day 4 Highlights

India Triumphs Over Australia in Women’s Test: Day 4 Recap

Marking a momentous occasion, India clinched a momentous triumph over Australia, winning by 8 wickets on the fourth day of the Women’s Test. Shafali Verma encountered an early departure in India’s second innings, yet Richa Ghosh and Smriti Mandhana stood firm, staying unbeaten with only 46 runs required for the victory.

Despite a resilient effort by Australia in their second innings, the team struggled against Indian spinners, with five batters falling to the sweep shot. The pitch showed signs of wear and tear, and India capitalized on it early in the day by claiming the crucial sixth wicket through a successful DRS decision against Ashleigh Gardner.

Vastrakar’s well-directed delivery, initially deemed unthreatening by the umpire, led to a successful review as no bat was involved, resulting in Gardner’s dismissal. Jess Jonassen survived a DRS review, but Australia faced setbacks as Sneh Rana and Renuka Singh made impactful contributions with the ball.

Sutherland’s resistance came to an end when she fell victim to Sneh Rana, who avenged a denied caught-behind appeal through a successful DRS. The off-spinner continued her dominance, securing two wickets in two deliveries, including a crucial breakthrough against Alana King.

Rajeshwari Gayakwad showcased her brilliance, claiming wickets with exceptional deliveries, ultimately ending Australia’s second innings at 261. India’s bowlers orchestrated an impressive display, taking five wickets in just 15.4 overs, conceding a mere 28 runs in 73 minutes. The Australians now face a challenging task of dismissing the hosts for less than 74 runs.
