In the ongoing match between Australia Women and India Women, Annabel Sutherland breathed fire with her bat. The Australian middle-order batter has troubled India in this match, despite having poor scores in the rest of the series.

India's women chose to bowl first at WACA, Perth, and have likely sealed their fate as the Australian batters, especially Sutherland, unleashed fury on the Indian bowlers. With her performance, it is highly probable that Sutherland has secured a clean sweep for Australia against India in the three-match series.

Sutherland's Ferocious Ton Depresses INDW

The Australian women's team started strong, reaching a score of 58 runs before Georgia Voll was dismissed by Arundhati Reddy. Shortly after, Phoebe also fell, and Ellyse Perry struggled to anchor Australia's innings, contributing only four runs. Just when things seemed to be going downhill for Australia, Annabel Sutherland came in at the fall of the fourth wicket and went on to play an explosive innings.

Annabel Sutherland took charge, scoring an impressive 110 runs off 95 balls, including four sixes and nine boundaries. She formed significant partnerships, adding 96 runs off 107 balls with Ashleigh Gardner and 122 runs with Tahlia McGrath, helping Australia post a formidable total of 298 runs. Sutherland was ultimately run out by Richa Ghosh on the second-to-last ball of the innings.

With such a massive target, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will rely on the bats of Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, and Jemimah Rodrigues. Their performances will be crucial for the Indian women's team and might prove to be foundational to chase down the massive target.
