A lower-order boost provided by Pooja Vastrakar (62*, 46b, 7x4, 2x6), who scored her fourth ODI fifty after Mumbai star Jemimah Rodrigues battled heat for a valiant 82 (77b, 7x4), her fifth half-century, saw India post their highest total against Australia in the Women’s ODIs on Thursday. However, India’s 282-8, after electing to bat at the Wankhede in the first of three ODIs, was not enough. World champions Australia recorded their second highest successful chase in ODIs, winning by six wickets with three-and-a-half overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead.

Renuka, who has removed Healy four times in the Powerplay in T20Is, extended it to ODIs, in her maiden 50-over match against Australia.
