India's opening pair of Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana got their team off to a steady start in the second women's ODI against Australia at Bellerive Oval. Rawal, who had a second-ball duck in Brisbane, survived early pressure while Mandhana continued her fine form throughout the multi-format series.
Australian bowler Darcie Brown took the new ball but wasted her opening delivery with a full toss that Mandhana dispatched to deep square leg. Brown recovered to concede just a single in the over as India progressed to 5-0 after two overs of play.
