So here it is. Australia, in front of the magical home crowd, destroyed India by 85 runs.
Australia played, looked like champions right from ball one. They knew how to handle the pressure, the crowd better than the Indian team. Thanks to their practice as well.
Australia practices more than anybody else. More tournaments, good pay and most importantly, WBBL. Most of the players who play today are discovered from that platform.
Coming to the Indian side, I don’t have to point out how much the team plays.
Coming to this match, Australian openers had chances and they made full use of it by scoring quick and helped Australia to reach 184 in their 20 overs.
India needed a great performance from their openers unfortunately, they didn’t get one. The scoreboard pressure destroyed the team as well and India never recovered, losing wickets at regular intervals. Schutt led from the front with the ball by picking up four wickets.
