After electing to bat first, Australian openers Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney made their intentions clear, with Healy scoring a boundary off the first ball. Deepthi Sharma, however, sent Healy back on the fourth delivery to peg the hosts. Further, the Australian innings kept moving forward with small partnerships with Beth Mooney being a constant feature throughout the innings. Contributions from Ashleigh Gardner, Meg Lanning helped Australia keep the score ticking. In the end, a quickfire knock from Rachel Haynes took Australia to 151-6 following the 20 overs. For India, Deepthi Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad were successful with four wickets between the duo. Meanwhile, Radha Yadav and Arundhati Reddy picked a wicket each.  

Chasing 152, Indian women got off to a flyer with opener Shafali Verma 10 off 9 hitting a four and six to Perry in the first over. Tayla Vlaeminck, however, sent back the opener in the second over. India looked promising with Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, stitching up a 50 run partnership before Megan Schutt struck. Then, in one of the most remarkable spells, Jess Jonassen sent back Kaur and Arundhati Reddy in the 16th over crushing India’s hope for victory, finishing her four-over spell with a figure of 5/12. India’s lower order was taken for a task by Jonassen, who took her five wickets in the last three overs of her spell. While Jonassen finished with five wickets, Vlaeminck's early strike pegged back the strong Indian top order.
