The ongoing One-Off Test match between India women and Australia is turning out to be a thrilling affair. On Day 3 of the match, India got bundled out for 406, which is also their highest-ever total against Australia in Test cricket. Deep Sharma scored 78 while Jemimah Rodrigues smashed 73 and helped India reach a high total. Apart from this, the dismissal of Australia batter Beth Mooney by Richa Ghosh, left everyone stunned as the India star showed presence of mind to provide her side with their first breakthrough.
In the 12th over of Australia’s innings, Mooney played a low shot on Sneh Rana‘s delivery. Ghosh, who was placed at the silly point, got the ball and appealed for a caught out.
At the same time, Ghosh saw that Mooney was out of her crease and she wasted no time and threw the ball towards the stumps and the Australian batter got run out.
