India 5-0 after 2 overs vs Australia in 2nd ODI

India scored 5 runs without loss after the first two overs in the second women's ODI against Australia at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

Pratika Rawal got off the mark with an unconvincing dab off the front foot to gully in the first over. The India opener was pleased to survive after scoring a duck in the first match in Brisbane. Smriti Mandhana, who has been in fine touch throughout the multi-format series, immediately eased a single to cover.

In the second over, Darcie Brown took the new ball but wasted her opening delivery with a full toss that Mandhana dispatched to deep square leg. Brown was fortunate to get away with a single. Rawal then picked up two runs with a flick to the same region.
