In a historic moment for Indian women’s cricket, the Wankhede Cricket Stadium witnessed an incredible victory as India defeated Australia for the first time in the history of women’s test cricket. With a target of 75 runs in the second innings, India achieved the target with the loss of 2 wickets, securing a momentous win.
The final scores saw Australia with 1st innings 219 and 2nd innings 261, while India had 1st innings 406 and 2nd innings 75 for 2. Indian all-rounder Sneh Rana, who took 7 wickets in two innings, was declared the player of the match for her outstanding performance.
With a lead of 46 runs, the Indian bowlers dominated Australia, who started batting on the fourth day at 233 for 5. Pooja Vastrakar and Sneh Rana played crucial roles in dismissing several Australian players, leading to their defeat with 5 wickets falling in 28 runs and being bowled out for 261 runs.
India’s winning target was 75 runs with two sessions and 10 wickets remaining. Despite early dismissals, Smriti Mandhana and Jamaima Rodriguez managed to lead India to a historic victory. This victory comes just a few days after India won a test match against England Women at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, marking the first time in 28 years that India has hosted two women’s Tests in one year.
