Australia beat India in the second T20I

Batting first, Australia scored 163 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Team India failed to reach the target of 164 runs. Harmanpreet Kaur's Indian team could score only 144 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs and lost the match. With India's defeat, the hard work of Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma also went in vain.

Smriti-Shefali's hard work wasted

Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Verma did not play big innings in the second T20 against Australia but they gave the start to the Indian team in the powerplay. Both took opening wickets and added 57 runs in 6.4 overs. This was the biggest partnership in the Indian innings. After this, another half-century partnership of 55 runs was made between Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh. But after that, no partnership was formed between any of the other batsmen which reached double figures. This was the biggest reason for Team India's defeat.

Beth Mooney broke Meg Lanning's record
