That is how Shafali Verma described what it is like to face the Australians. "When I play against Australia, it feels like I'm playing against men because their game is like that. If they see a small mistake that you are making, they will take advantage of it. So we have to be on top of our game against them. You can't make mistakes against them. You have to play your best shots, which you are confident about. I learnt a lot while playing against Australia. I love playing against them. Aisa lagta hai ki ladkon ke sath hi khel rahe hain (it seems you are playing against a men's team)," she told reporters

India vs Australia 4th T20I live score: The first time India equalised this series…

They produced a performance that made it a night to remember for the capacity crowd at the DY Patil Stadium. Australia scored a mammoth 187/1 batting first but the Indians were up for the challenge. Smriti Mandhana's 79 off 49 balls, coupled with a typically ballistic cameo from Richa Ghosh, helped India level the score. In the Super Over, Mandhana and Richa smashed 20 runs and then managed to restrict Australia to 16 runs, thus winning the potboiler.

IND W vs AUS W Live score: Hello and welcome!

India have equalised this series once before, that too in the most dramatic of fashions. But this one is a little different in the way that there is a series on the line. They clearly like competing against the Australians but their performances against the all-conquering side from Down Under tends to veer between meek and extraordinarily inspiring. Wonder which Indian team we will get to see today.
