India A scored a modest 243-9, thanks to middle-order batter Tejal's 66-ball 50 and Raghvi's 64-ball 53 before 20-year-old Delhi cricketer Priya took a fifer (5-14) to dismiss the Australia A batting for just 72 runs for a massive win.

Playing in only her first match, Priya dismissed opener Maddy Darke (22) and top-order batter Tess Flintoff (20) as the home team were left reeling at 52-4 in the 15th over of the chase.
