India Level Series; Women's World Cup Final Set

India leveled the five-match T20I series against Australia 1-1 after chasing 187 in 18.3 overs at Hobart, with Washington Sundar unbeaten on 49 off 23 and crucial lower-order support from Jitesh Sharma and Tilak Varma. Arshdeep Singh (3/35) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/33) earlier restricted Australia to 186/6 despite big knocks from Tim David and Marcus Stoinis. In the ICC Women’s World Cup, South Africa and India will meet in the final in Navi Mumbai after Laura Wolvaardt struck 169 in the semifinal and India completed a record chase of 339 led by Jemimah Rodrigues (127*) and Harmanpreet Kaur (89). Wolvaardt won the toss in the final and elected to bowl on a slightly sticky surface with potential dew later, and both sides were unchanged and focused on conditions for the match.
