Notably, Mooney arrived at the crease in the 24th over after Ellyse Perry retired hurt due to a hamstring issue. Perry scored 32 runs, and her partnership with Alyssa Healy put the Indian team on the back foot.

Healy went on to smash an outstanding century as India had to struggle for more success during the match. Talking about Mooney, the senior batter headed into the match on the back of a memorable century in Australia's previous fixture against Pakistan.

Pratika Rawal also made a crucial contribution of 75 runs in 96 balls, hitting 10 fours and a six.
