AUS 108/4 (17 overs) - Perry, Litchfield rebuild

Deepti Sharma will bowl out. Perry smacks for a six down the ground which lands right in front of the Aussie dugout. What a way to bring up the team 100! Her partner Litchfield is not to be left out. She caps Deepti’s final over with a boundary through cover.

AUS 99/4 (16 overs) - Pooja Vastrakar removes Gardner

Vastrakar comes in for her first over and she almost has a wicket right there as Gardner goes aerial. The ball lands safely though. Vastrakar finishes with the last laugh as Gardner knicks the ball to the keeper after a sprightly start. Litchfield joins Perry. Two in form batters in this tour. Can they finish it?

AUS 95/3 (15 overs) - Renuka bowl

AUS 130/8 - Deepti run out, Australia needs 131 to win.

Megan Schutt to finish the innings. She begins with a wide that beats Healy to the boundary. Shreyanka then goes aerial as she sweeps to deep fine but Garth puts her down. Ah, the one time you want to see Perry at that boundary position, especially given how much Shreyanka likes those areas. A frenetic over this which ends with a run out off the last ball as Deepti is caught short of her crease. Schutt’s lines were all ove the place. There was the ploy to potentially target the feet to allow little space, but she got her lines all wrong. 13 runs come off that final over.
