India A Faces Defeat Against Australia A in Women's Test

India A is likely to face a defeat against Australia A in the women's Test match, trailing by 140 runs with just four wickets in hand. Maddy Darke's unbeaten 105 led Australia A to set a challenging target, and the Indian side has struggled against the home team’s spinners.

India A is on the brink of defeat against Australia A after the visitors faltered against the home team's spin attack, crumbling to 149 for six on the third day of the unofficial one-off women's Test in Australia.

Chasing a steep target of 289, primarily constructed around Maddy Darke's unbeaten 105, India A initially looked to lay a solid foundation. However, rival spinners Charli Knott (2/27), Grace Parsons (2/27), and Lilly Mills (1/15) made regular inroads. The Indian team lost 5 wickets for just 42 runs across 21 overs.

As the day ended, Raghvi Bist (16) and Uma Chetry (10) were at the crease, with India A needing 140 more runs to win while having only four wickets in hand.
