Fans troll Harmanpreet Kaur’s Indian team for getting bowled out for just 100 runs in the 1st ODI against Australia

After electing to bat first, India’s decision backfired as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crumbled under pressure in the 1st ODI, . Australia’s Megan Schutt emerged as the standout performer, claiming a brilliant five-wicket haul to spearhead the hosts’ dominant display at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane.

Megan Schutt’s early strikes dent India

India’s innings suffered an early blow when Megan Schutt, in red-hot form, struck in the third over to dismiss Smriti Mandhana for 8. Mandhana, who had started confidently with two exquisite boundaries, edged a sharp outswinger to the wicketkeeper. Schutt continued her fiery spell, removing Priya Punia for 3, leaving India reeling at 10/2. Harleen Deol tried to counterattack, displaying glimpses of promise with some well-timed shots, but her 19-run cameo ended when she was caught at mid-off off Ashleigh Gardner’s delivery.🎃 At 42/3, the Indian innings was in deep trouble.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues try to stabilize

Skipper Harmanpreet attempted to stabilize the innings alongside Jemimah Rodrigues. Kaur’s measured approach included two boundaries but was undone by a sharp inswinging delivery from Annabel Sutherland, resulting in an LBW dismissal after a failed DRS review. Rodrigues, on the other hand, tried to anchor the innings with a cautious 23 off 42 balls. However, her dismissal to Kim Garth’s precise line and leng🎶th marked the beginning of a rapid declineꩲ.

— Matt Clinch (@MattClinch)

Collapsing from 80 odd for 4 to 100 all out doesn't surprise me a lot as the batting realistically was till only 7 and after losing those many wickets up top, no way that the last few wickets were going to offer some great resistance.

Schutt’s spell of destruction for Australia

Schutt was the standout bowler, delivering a scintillating spell of 6.2 overs, conceding just 19 runs while taking five wickets. Her ability to extract movement both ways and maintain a consistent line made her unplayable. Garth and Ashleigh Gardner provided excellent support, picking up o😼ne wicket each, while Sutherland and King chipped in with crucial breakthroughs. The Australian bowling unit’s collective effort ensured they maintained control throughout the innings.

A key turning point was the dismiss🔴al of Harmanpreet in the 19th over. The captain’s wicket not only halted India’s momentum but also exposed the lower order to Australia’s relentless bowling attack. Despite the DRS review, the umpire’s call was upheld, further denting India’s hopes of posting a competitive total.
