After 6 overs,Australia Women 42/1 ( Alyssa Healy (C) (W) 30 , Tahlia McGrath 7)

Deepti tests Healy by pulling out in the last second in the second delivery of her second over, with Healy giving away her intention of charging down the track and smashing the ball over her head. The Aussie captain does get a boundary later in the sixth over, shuffling to her right and smacking the ball behind square leg for a boundary in the penultimate ball, but needs medical attention immediately after the shot as she’s seen hobbling while going for a run. Healy plays out the final delivery, but the discomfort is too much for her to handle and she walks off the field as a result.

Final touches at Brabourne

18:00 (IST)

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the fourth T20I between India and Australia at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday, with the Women in Blue hoping to bounce back from their 21-run loss on Wednesday and level the five-match series.

Preview: With world champions Australia getting back to winning ways after a clinical show with bat and ball on Wednesday, Team India face a must-win situation in the fourth T20I against the Alyssa Healy-led side in Mumbai on Saturday.

India had bounced back in style after getting thrashed by nine wickets in the opening game, forcing the match to go into the Super Over where they were able to hold their nerve and eke out a series-clinching win. Australia, however, recovered from a shaky start in the third game, posting a competitive 173-run target before capitalising on India’s batting errors to restrict them to 151.

Though the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Women in Blue produced an improved performance with the ball after collecting just one wicket across the first two games, they will hope to get their act with the bat right. The Indians, after all, were going strong at 106/2 before suffering a batting collapse, with none of the remaining batters able to stitch match-saving partnerships.

Squads:

India: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Devika Vaidya, Richa Ghosh(wk), Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Anjali Sarvani, Renuka Thakur Singh, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Sabbhineni Meghana, Meghna Singh, Harleen Deol, Yastika Bhatia.

Australia: Alyssa Healy(wk/c), Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Grace Harris, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown, Amanda Wellington, Phoebe Litchfield, Kim Garth, Heather Graham.
