India recorded its highest ODI total against Australia when it posted 282 for eight against the side during the 1st match of the three-game series in Mumbai on Thursday.
HIGHLIGHTS | India vs Australia 1st ODI
India’s previous highest was 281, scored during the 2017 World Cup when Harmanpreet Kaur notched up an unbeaten 171 off 115 deliveries.
Jemimah Rodrigues’ 77-ball 82 and Pooja Vastrakar’s 42-ball 66 helped India finish with a flourish after early wickets had seen the side slump to 57 for three in the 13th over. The total, however, proved insufficient as Australia rode on half-centuries from Ellyse Perry and Phoebe Litchfield to chase down it down inside 47 overs.
The run chase was the highest against the Women in Blue.
