The Indian team led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur performed well in batting. He scored a challenging score due to the half -centuries of Pritaka Rawal, charismatic opener Smriti Mandhana and Harine Deol, but the fielding of the Indian team was not good which caused his defeat.
In the first ODI, Indian players left four catches, taking advantage of which Australia managed to achieve the target of 281 runs. If India has to win in second ODI, then it will have to improve its fielding a lot.
Domestic conditions and pitches are favorable to them, but still the Indian team stumbled and it can be blamed for their fielding, middle and lower order batting and spinners.
Australian players are well aware of Indian conditions due to playing in the Women’s Premier League, which they are getting the benefit. Australia vice-captain Tahlia Macgra had rightly said that his players are quite lucky, which they get a chance to travel to India from time to time.
If India wants to equalize the series, then its middle -order batsman Jemima Rodrigues, wicketkeeper batsman Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma will also have to play.
