Richa Ghosh missed a crucial opportunity that could have changed the course of the match. During an intense moment in the game, Amanjot Kaur bowled a clever slower leg-cutter that was full and wide outside off. Phoebe Litchfield attempted to drive the ball but lost her balance, causing her back foot to slip out of the crease. This presented Ghosh with a routine stumping chance, yet she surprisingly fumbled the catch without facing significant pressure.
The ball slipped from her gloves, leading to a missed breakthrough that India desperately needed. Litchfield had just hit three consecutive boundaries, demonstrating her prowess at the crease. Capitalizing on Ghosh’s error, she continued to punish the Indian bowlers, hitting Amanjot for another four and accumulating 17 runs in the tenth over.
As of now, the match is at a critical juncture with Australia scoring 82 runs without a loss in 10 overs, chasing a target of 331 against India. Alyssa Healy stands not out at 43, while Litchfield is on 38, making the situation increasingly challenging for the Indian side.
