Jemimah Rodrigues smashed a stylish 49 off 36 balls before heavens opened up to force the abandonment of the first Women's T20 International between India and Australia at Carrara yesterday.
India scored at a quick clip to reach 131 for four in 15.2 overs and were looking good for a total of around 165 plus when heavy rains put paid to the hopes of a complete game.
However, for the Indian Team, their positive approach towards batting was a welcome change with Smriti Mandhana (17 off 10 balls) and Shafali Verma (18 off 14 balls) providing a rollicking start. It was a rare occasion when Australia conceded over 50 runs in the powerplay overs as Indian batters never lost the tempo although save Jemimah, none of the other top-order players could convert their starts. Jemimah's innings had seven boundaries, and she was at the crease with the stocky Richa Ghosh (17 off 13 balls) at the time of disruption.
