Unfortunately for the Indian team, India lost the match despite picking up an early wicket. The reason for India's defeat was more related to their batting more than bowling as India was. dismissed for only 118 runs.
There's one more T20I remaining in the series as Australian women take a 1-0 lead in the series. The first match was washed off because of poor weather.
Can India stage a comeback in the final T20I? India has a good chance of levelling the series. Bit of improvement in the batting sector is required.
