Only once in their 33 Women’s T20Is against Australia have India won two matches consecutively. That was in January 2016 in Australia, the only time India won a T20I series against the multiple world champions (2-1).
All-rounder Deepti Sharma, who top-scored in the second T20I on Sunday with 30 and took 2-22 in India’s six-wicket loss to Australia, looked at the positive side of things even in defeats. “We were not taking the games close in the past. But in recent times, we have been taking it to the last over. We are putting up a better fight. It is not long before we win a series against Australia and who knows, it could be even in the next match [today].”
