Super Over:

In the super over, Richa Ghosh and Smriti Mandhana came on to bat for India. Richa hit a six in the first ball and then got out in the second. Smriti Mandhana continued her hitting prowess and hit one six and a four to take India's score to 20 at the end of their over.

Australia needed 21 runs and Alyssa Healy started well with a boundary in the first ball of Renuka Singh. But the Indian bowler turned things around with giving just one run in the next two balls and picking up the wicket of Ashleigh Gardener. Tahila McGrath only managed to get one run as India secured the match with the Aussies needing 15 runs off the last two balls.
