IND-W V AUS-W: No Deliberate Attempt To Score Slow, Says Perry As Australia Score 233 In 90 Overs
Ellyse Perry: Australian batters did not deliberately bat slowly on the third day of the one-off women's Test at the Wankhede Stadium to deny India the opportunity to force a result on the fourth day, said Australian allrounder Ellyse Perry.
Australia scored 233/5 in 90 overs, at a rate of 2.58 runs whereas they were all out for 219 in their first innings, scoring at 2.18 runs per over despite the falling wickets. In comparison, India scored at an overall run rate of 3.20, posting 406 off 126 overs in their first innings.
But Perry said it was not a deliberate ploy on their part to score at a slower rate. She said they went slow because of the conditions.
