11:49 AM IST Batters need to take more accountability - The Indian captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, says collapses can happen in a chase, but admits the batters needed to take more responsibility. She feels restricting Australia to a manageable total was the biggest positive from the game.

11:49 AM IST Applied the learnings from the series opener - Sophie Molineux, the skipper of Australia, says it was a good game with Georgia Voll setting it for them, but India came hard in the first innings. Reckons that they didn't have to change much, they learned from the first game and they held in as long as possible. Admits they wanted to squeeze when the opportunity arrived and the players came on the board. Talking about Smriti Mandhana's wicket, Sophie feels it was a key wicket, and they had to take the review.

11:47 AM IST Time for the presentation ceremony...

11:47 AM IST Earlier, after being asked to bat first on a true surface, Australia laid a strong foundation with a 128-run opening stand. After struggling for timing early on, Georgia Voll found her rhythm and never looked back, while Beth Mooney found it harder to maintain the same tempo.

11:46 AM IST The boundaries dried up, Richa Ghosh was tied down, and although Harmanpreet Kaur managed to find a few, the mounting pressure eventually told. The game cracked open with the fall of Kaur, who was unable to see her side through in her record-breaking 356th appearance, becoming the most capped women’s international cricketer. India fell away in the chase rather spectacularly, losing 6 wickets for 7 runs as Australia sealed a 19-run win.
