The Hindu
India A's Priya Mishra shines with five wickets as Tejal Hasabnis and Raghvi Bist lead a 171-run victory over Australia A.
Rookie leg-spinner Priya Mishra grabbed five wickets while Tejal Hasabnis and Raghvi Bist scored half-centuries as India A thrashed Australia A by 171-run in the third and final one-dayer here on Sunday (August 18, 2024).
India A finally achieved success in the third and final one-dayer after having lost five successive games — three T20s in Brisbane and two one-dayers here — in the six-match white-ball series.
India A scored a modest 243/9, thanks to middle-order batter Tejal's 66-ball 50 and Raghvi's 64-ball 53 before 20-year-old Delhi cricketer Priya took a fifer (5/14) to dismiss the Australia A batting for just 72 runs for a massive win.
Playing in only her first match on the tour, Priya dismissed opener Maddy Darke (22) and top-order batter Tess Flintoff (20) as the home team was left reeling at 52/4 in the 15th over of the chase.
She then destroyed the middle order taking the wickets of Nicole Faltum (2), Kate Peterson (1), and Nicola Hancock (0) as the hosts were dismissed in 22.1 over, which gave India A a consolation win.
The one-off unofficial Test will be played in Gold Coast from August 22.
Earlier, a 104-run partnership between Tejal and Raghvi helped India A overcome a shaky start, which saw them reeling at 43/3 in the ninth over.
