Australia’s momentum was halted by off-spinner Deepti Sharma’s outstanding five-wicket haul, but India’s seven mishandled catches allowed them to post a formidable 258 for eight in the second Women’s ODI in Mumbai on Saturday. Deepti returned with numbers off five for 38, finely manipulating a dry and twisting surface, but the hosts’ terrible fielding undid all of her good work. Her second five-for of the career came from Tahlia McGrath (24), Georgia Wareham (22), Annabel Sutherland (23), Ellyse Perry (50), and Beth Mooney (10).
