Australia Women's National Cricket Team vs India Women's National Cricket Team Match Scorecard
Top knocks by Ellyse Perry and Georgia Voll powered Australia women's national cricket team to gigantic 371/8 against India in the second ODI of a three-match series at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Sunday.
For India, the bowling efforts of Women in Bluw were headlined by Saima Thakor, who managed to take three wickets. Minnu Mani also added a couple of scalps, while Deepti Sharma delivered a very good economical spell, which included the valued wicket of the well-set Ellyse Perry, who fell after her amazing century.
Opted to bat first, Australia openers Phoebe Litchfield and Voll started their innings in style by hammering Indian bowlers all around the ground.
The first-wicket stand for the pair saw the opening pair rattle off 130 runs in the first twenty overs of the innings. Litchfield was a massive part of that, falling well for 60 after setting a very good base for the Australian innings.

The bowling attack from India succeeded in finally breaking the stalemate and removed Georgia Voll after she slammed her very first International century.
Saima Thakor provided the much-needed scalp when Voll was impressive enough to end her innings. However, the momentary relief proved short-lived as Ellyse Perry appeared very much at ease with her batting.
Perry's batting onslaught proved too much for the Indian bowlers to handle. She initially targeted leg-spinner Priya Mishra, taking her to task with a series of aggressive shots. Undeterred, Perry then turned her attention to Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma, continuing to unleash a flurry of boundaries and sixes
Perry brought on fire innings to mark her third One-day International (ODI) century, taking Australia towards a potent score. Perry dazzled the Australian crowd with a breathtaking century off 72 balls against India Women.
