India's batting lineup struggled significantly, with Smriti Mandhana and Priya Punia failing to make an impact. Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, was trapped lbw by Schutt for 17, and Jemimah Rodrigues managed only 23 runs before being bowled by Kim Garth. The Indian team crumbled, losing 6-11 in 8.1 overs to be dismissed for their second-lowest total.
Australia's response was led by debutant Georgia Voll, who top-scored with an unbeaten 46 from 42 balls. Voll, along with opener Phoebe Litchfield, who scored 35 off 29 deliveries, formed a crucial 48-run opening stand. Despite a brief wobble where Australia lost a few wickets, Voll remained composed and guided her team to a five-wicket victory in just 16.2 overs.
Key Performers:
- Megan Schutt: 5-19
- Georgia Voll: 46 (42 balls)
