Sydney: Mithali Raj’s defiant knock of 74 went in vain as the Indian women’s cricket team slumped to its second successive defeat in the five-match ODI cricket series against Australia, losing by 86 runs here on Saturday. Chasing 216 for a win, the Indians were bowled out for 129 in 45.1 overs. Save for Mithali’s 74, which came off 106 balls, and Anjum Chopra’s 20, no other Indian managed a double-digit score. For Australia, Lisa Sthalekar top-scored with an unbeaten 104. After being sent into bat, the Aussies built their score around a 93-run fifth-wicket stand between Sthalekar and Jodie Fields. The pair rescued the host from a precarious 83 for four after rain had disrupted the opening part of its innings. The Indian innings was stalled from the outset with tight bowling and good fielding, limiting it to only 23 from the first 15 overs. Lauren Ebsary enjoyed a successful start to her international career with a wicket and two catches, while Kirsten Pike claimed late wickets to finish with three for 29. The third match in the series will be played at the North Sydney Oval on November 5. The scores: Australia 215 for six in 50 overs (Lisa Sthalekar 104) bt India 129 in 45.1 overs (Mithali Raj 74). — PTI
