There was excitement at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday from the time Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur came on to bowl after 71 overs in the Australian second innings and after 75 minutes in the day’s final session.
With Australia having wiped out the first innings deficit, Kaur brought herself on for her off-spin. She immediately trapped Tahlia McGrath with her first ball, the appeal upheld by umpire Anil Chaudhary. However, DRS by Australia revealed the ball was missing the wickets. Four deliveries later, Kaur dismissed McGrath, her forward defence taking the inside edge with the ball rolling on to the stumps, to be bowled.
