1st WODI: Megan Schutt's Five-fer Powers Australia To 5-wicket Win Over India
Allan Border Field: Fast-bowler Megan Schutt produced a career-best performance of 5/19 and dismantle India’s top order to set the base for Australia’s comprehensive five-wicket win in the ODI series opener at the Allan Border Field on Thursday.
Electing to bat first, India’s batting line-up never found their rhythm, thanks to Schutt and others not giving them any breathing space and were bowled out for 100, their lowest total in ODIs since 2012.
In reply, debutant batter Georgia Voll's unbeaten 46 off 42 balls ensured Australia reached the target within 17 overs, despite losing five wickets in the process and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
