In the second women's T20 international at Adelaide Oval, India reached 14-0 with Smriti Mandhana on 5 and Shafali Verma on 3. The opening pair showed aggression against Australian bowler Sophie Gardner.
Shafali Verma came down the pitch early in the over, attempting to drive the ball back over Gardner's head. The ball caught the edge but fell safely just past Litchfield, allowing Shafali to get off the mark. Gardner bowled a tight over, conceding only four runs.
