A stunned Australian outfit has crumbled under the weight of expectation in their first Women’s T20 World Cup match after Indian spinner Poonam Yadav bamboozled a nervous middle order

Chasing 133 for victory, Australia required 78 runs from 70 balls with nine wickets in the bank before all hell broke loose.Alyssa Healy was back in the runs with a polished half century before a collapse of 4-15 in the space of four overs left the home side reeling in front of a crowd of 13,432 – the biggest ever for a standalone women's match in Australia.

Despite some late resistance from Gardner Australia were unable to recover from a staggering collapse of 9-60 as they fell short by 17 runs to be all out for 115 in humiliating fashion. India's slow bowlers were superb and inflicted a result that will make other teams sit up and take notice. After a first over that went for two singles, Strano’s grin was wiped away quick smart when the Victorian dropped Shafali Verma off the bowling of Perry.

'Un-Australian': Female cricketer denied visa over flight risk concernsOne of the best female cricketers in Botswana has been denied a visa after being invited to Australia to participate in a T20 women's clash in Bowral on Saturday. When do we deport Dutton? It’s got to be down to sexism.... that’ll be that patriarchy at it agsin! Ugh... makes me do mad With 50000 people waiting to be deported, as well as millions spent on one family, who after all are illegal immigrants, I am fully supportive of this. There are many elderly Australians here, who've paid taxes all their lives, waiting for an affordable roof over their heads.
