Minnu Mani, Priya Mishra share nine wickets to bundle out Australia A
Written by I Dig SportsIndia A 100 for 2 (Sehrawat 40*, Hasabnis 31*, Brown 1/6) trail Australia A 212 (Voll 71, Parsons 35, Mani 5-58, Mishra 4-58) by 112 runs
Voll played a fluent innings at the top, scoring 71 off 95 balls and hitting 12 fours. However, she was caught behind in an attempt to cut left-arm spinner Mannat Kashyap.
With Mishra and Mani bowling disciplined spells, Australia A lost regular wickets on a surface that was not as slow and spin-friendly as the one in Mackay for the third one-dayer. Peterson and Parsons, though, showed patience and used the crease well against spin.
Mani finally broke the stubborn stand by trapping Parsons lbw from around the wicket before Mishra's wrong'un did Peterson in.
India A's reply started on a slightly shaky note when Priya Punia was hurried on by a short one from Maitlan Brown. She was a tad late on the pull and was caught at midwicket. Shubha sped up the scoring and looked at ease against the fast bowlers. She was particularly severe on the offspin duo of Knott and Lilly Mills before being trapped lbw by Peterson.
Sehrawat was slow to start off but looked at home as the innings went along. By stumps, she and Hasabnis had added 53 in an unbroken third-wicket stand.
