The Indian women’s cricket team suffered a heavy defeat in the ODI series on the Australia tour. The Indian women’s team is winless in 3 games in the ODI series. In this way, the host Australia whitewashed the Indian team 3-0. In the third ODI in Perth, Australia batted first and scored a mammoth score of 298 runs for 6 wickets with Nabel Sutherland scoring a century. In reply, India were reduced to 215 runs in 45.1 overs, although Mandana scored 105 runs off 109 balls with 14 fours and a six. So far, the team has swept its opponents in the ODI series. After this disastrous defeat, the Indian team suffered another big blow.
In fact, the Indian women’s cricket team was fined 10% of the match fee for touching the ball too slowly during the second ODI against Australia. ICC match referee David Gilbert imposed a penalty on Harmanpreet Kaur’s side for bowling two overs short of the target within the regulation time.
The captain admitted his mistake
The ICC statement said that India captain Harmanpreet Kaul had admitted the crime and accepted the proposed punishment, so a formal hearing was not necessary. The charges were made by on-field referees Claire Polosak and Donovan Koch, third referee Jacqueline Williams and fourth referee David Taylor. As per Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct (relating to minimum over-over offences), players who do not bowl within the stipulated time will be fined 5% of the match fee.
India suffers seventh consecutive defeat
It is worth noting that in the second ODI game, which was also played in Brisbane, the Indian team suffered a disastrous defeat. Australia scored an all-time high score of 371/8 in an ODI against India. In reply, India scored just 249 runs and lost the series by 122 runs. With the loss in the third match, India suffered a seven-match losing streak against Australia in the ODIs.
