India failed to capitalise on Friday’s 1-0 start to the series, going down to Australia by six wickets in the second game of the three-match T20I series at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday night.
It all started with India losing the toss. Not only did the heavy dew factor in for Australia captain Alyssa Healy, but also the fact that her team knew exactly how much to chase. And, they did not have to pursue a massive target—only 131—as their bowlers were brilliant. The Indians fell into the traps set by the Aussies.
