"9th over: Australia 81-0 (Voll 63, Mooney 18) Sree Charani comes into the attack with her left arm orthodox spin. Mooney takes a single and Voll decides it's time for another slog sweep, this time for the first six of the match. There's an appeal for lbw next ball, but there's a clear inside edge from Voll. Australia are applying some serious pressure to India here it's much improved batting from Sunday's match."
"Our first look at spin tonight with Deepti Sharma coming into the attack. Voll uses her footwork and plays the first one fairly cautiously for a single. Mooney gets down sweeping and Deepti makes a pretty optimistic appeal for lbw, but the umpire isn't interested. She gives the strike back to Voll who brings up her first 50 on Australian soil with a well run two, before bringing out a big slog sweep for four to finish the over."
Australia reached 81 without loss after nine overs with Voll unbeaten on 63 and Mooney on 18. Early overs saw Kranti and Arundhati Reddy leaking boundaries while Australia rotated strike and ran cleverly. Deepti Sharma and Sree Charani offered spin, with Voll using footwork to counter spin and bringing up her first fifty on Australian soil. Mooney played a supporting role, rotating strike and waiting patiently before finding scoring opportunities. Appeals for lbw against Voll were rejected, including a clear inside edge and an optimistic call from Deepti. Australia applied consistent pressure on India through aggressive strokeplay and sharp running.
