But Maddy Darke\u2019s unbeaten 54 not out has meant Australia \u2018A\u2019 are slightly ahead as they reached 164\/7 in their second innings at stumps and are currently leading India \u2018A\u2019 by 192 runs. On a day in which 15 wickets fell, Kate\u2019s 5-16 helped Australia \u2018A\u2019 take a slender 28-run lead after bowling out India \u2018A\u2019 for 184.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India \u2018A\u2019 started Friday at the overnight score of 100\/2, but suffered early blows as Kate dismissed overnight batters Tejal Hasabnis (32), and Shweta Sehrawat (40), before removing Sajana Sajeevan for a duck -- all three within eight deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kate completed her five-wicket haul by removing Uma Chetry, and with Raghvi Bist getting run out, it left India \u2018A\u2019 in tatters at 128\/7. Crucial contributions from Minnu Mani (17) and Mannat Kashyap (19) ensured India \u2018A\u2019 crossed 180 but failed to get past Australia \u2018A\u2019 first-innings total of 212.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Batting with a narrow first-innings lead, Australia \u2018A\u2019 were on the back foot from the word go when Minnu dismissed Georgia Voll and Charli Knott for consecutive ducks, leaving the hosts at zero for two. It needed a patient Emma de Broughe\u2019s 58 off 117 balls to bring Australia \u2018A\u2019 on track, despite Minnu taking out Nicole Faltum and Tess Flintoff in quick succession.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Emma and Maddy had a 43-run stand for the fifth wicket, before leg-spinner Priya Mishra came in to dismiss the former. While bringing up her half-century, Maddy added 54 runs for the sixth wicket with Maitlan Brown (26), before the latter became Minnu\u2019s fifth victim of the innings and propelling the India \u2018A\u2019 captain to complete her match haul of ten wickets on a roller-coaster day of red-ball cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
