Australia’s opening over at Allan Border Field saw a 1‑0 advantage as India’s Mandhana and Verma were dismissed for zero. Schutt’s first ball was a near‑double, and her second delivery swung sharply, leaving Verma unable to counterattack. The experienced South Australian bowler, not in the original squad, made an immediate impact by targeting the right‑handers from over the wicket.
