In a pivotal Women's T20 World Cup match, Renuka Singh Thakur and Deepti Sharma led India's bowling attack against Australia, who set a challenging target of 152 runs. Thakur's early breakthroughs and Sharma's late wickets were highlights for India.

Australia's batting card featured significant contributions from Grace Harris, Tahlia McGrath, and Ellyse Perry. Despite a strong start with the ball, India's frailties became evident through fielding errors, missed catches, and a costly review.

Momentous fielding blunders allowed Australia to build pressure on India. McGrath's luck ran out when she was stumped for 32, while Harris's 40-run innings laid a solid foundation for Australia before falling to Mandhana's catch. India's hopes were dented by overturned decisions and missed chances on the field.
