SIX! Deepti Sharma to Annabel Sutherland. Length ball, Slog, Hit Hard in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. That's it, Australia win the 1st ODI convincingly by six wickets over India to level up the multi-format series on 4 points apiece. Australia were superb right throughout the day in all facets of the game. Earlier, Mandhana (58), Kaur (53) and Gautam (43) were the only Indian batters to provide any resistance against a miserly Aussie attack that took wickets at regular intervals. In the chase they couldn't prevent Australia scoring freely throughout, with fifties by Healy and Mooney steering them to victory with plenty to spare. The series now heads to Hobart for the last two ODIs.
