Australia Leads India in First Women’s ODI

Australia opened the match with a dominant over, taking a 1‑0 lead in the first over of the first women’s ODI against India.

Australia’s opening over at Allan Border Field saw a 1‑0 lead as India’s Mandhana and Verma were dismissed for zero. Schutt’s first ball was a near‑double, and her second delivery swung sharply, leaving the Indian opener on the crease. The DRS review failed to save the wicket, giving Australia a strong start.
