   Deepti Sharma with the dive, and Phoebe Litchfield knows she is very lucky to get away with that one.

2. Aus 13-0published at 2 overs

   Kranti Gaud finds a flicker of swing.

   Phoebe Litchfield looks in pretty good touch, though. The left-hander gets a thick-ish edge on a wider delivery from Gaud which races past the fielder at short third and away for four.

   India’s catching has been a concern so far; 23 chances created, and a few of them have been put down.

4. Aus 7-0published at 1 over

   A wide delivery from Amanjot Kaur with her second ball and Phoebe Litchfield reaches to carve it through point for four. Three singles in there as well.

   A positive start for the Aussies.

   The highest totals made by a team batting second in ODIs:

   • 369 – India v Australia at Delhi in 2025
   • 305-9 – South Africa v England at Bristol in 2017
   • 305-4 – Sri Lanka v South Africa at Potchefstroom in 2024
   • 280-4 – Australia v India at Auckland in 2022

   Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield are out in the middle.

   Amanjot Kaur has the ball in hand for India with a slip in place.

   The
   crowd in Vizag can barely believe what they’ve seen. Fans were still
   streaming in to catch the end of India’s remarkable blitz of run-scoring. If
   Australia chase this down we’re in for some second innings – albeit it might be
   a little quieter.

   Thanks, Matthew.

   A big ask for Australia. They’ll need to break some records to win this one.

9. Postpublished at 14:22 BST

   India are favourites but I am not ruling out the Aussies. You never can, can you? Timothy Abraham is back to kick off the chase.

    Given their wonderful opening stand, I think India will be a little disappointed they didn’t get a few more. Nevertheless, they have posted a decent score and Australia will need to bat much better than they have done recently and hope that India’s bowling/fielding is below par. That combination could make it very interesting.

    It has taken me by surprise that this is Annabel Sutherland’s first five-wicket haul in international cricket. She has four four-fors but never five.

    It’s also her 24th birthday.

12. Postpublished at 14:14 BST

    Without Annabel Sutherland Australia really would have been in trouble.

    She removed Richa Ghosh just as the India wicketkeeper was starting to motor, saw off Jemimah Rodrigues and wrapped up the tail to check India somewhat.

    Sutherland took 5-40. She was the only bowler to go at less than five runs per over.

13. How’s stats?published at 14:10 BST

    Phil Long

    A tranche of statistics from India’s innings. Their total of 330 was:

    • India’s
      highest total at World Cups
    • Australia’s
      highest total conceded at World Cups
    • Australia’s highest total conceded in all ODIs bowling first and the first time over
      300.
    • The highest
      total of the 2025 World Cup and leaves Australia
      requiring the highest successful chase in ODI history.

14. ‘Everyone chipped in’published at 14:04 BST

    India batter Pratika Rawal: “When I am on the non-striker’s end I like to see her [Smriti Mandhana] go. Personally, I am happy I got a decent score. There were a lot of dot balls to start but I am glad to convert it into a big score. I like to play the ball in the merit and take the shots on merit. Everyone else really chipped in.”

15. Postpublished at 14:01 BST

    We’ll have to see if it’s enough but one thing is for certain. That was a lot of fun. It all started with that 155-run opening stand between Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana.

    It’s not often the great Australia look helpless. They did at times early on today.

16. Postpublished at 13:58 BST

    India were 153-0 after 24 overs and 192-1 after 30. They were even 294-4 in the 43rd with Ghosh flying.

    It could have been more but Australia still need the highest chase in women’s ODI history.

    Really smart bowling there from Annabel Sutherland, and they would be happy that they managed to bring this back to 330, considering the start India had.

    Charani b Sutherland 0 (Ind 330 all out)

    FIVE for Annabel Sutherland. 5-40 when your team has conceded over 300. Sensational stuff.

    Sree Charani chops on and India are bowled out seven balls early. They have a big total but Australia will think they have a chance.

    It is almost a fitting ending to this innings if Australia do bowl India out, because it did start with that dominant partnership, but Australia have clawed themselves back in it.

    Gaud c sub b Sutherland 1 (Ind 330-9)

    Annabel Sutherland has four! It’s another slow ball. She has done that so well. Kranti Gaud chips the catch to long-on.
