In the crucial second WODI of the three-match series, Australia Women set a new WODI record for the highest total against India Women with the help of four 50+ scores, including two centuries.

Leading the WODI series by 1-0, Aussie captain Tahila McGrath chose to bat first at Brisbane. They got a strong start and scored 371/8 in 50 overs. It was the highest WODI total for any team against India Women. The previous record was 338/7 by Australia Women in 2024 Wankhede WODI. It was also the joint 13th-highest total in WODI history. 

Australia Women started with a century partnership

Aussie openers Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll had a 130-run first-wicket partnership. While Litchfield scored 60 off 63 balls (eight fours and one six), Voll continued her batting with Ellyse Perry.

Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry scored centuries

In her second WODI, the 21-year-old Voll hit a memorable century. While she completed her 50 in 43 balls, the right-handed batter completed her first WODI hundred in 84 balls. By scoring the century at the age of 21 years and 125 days, Voll became the third youngest Australia Women batter to record the first WODI hundred. She had a 92-run partnership for the second wicket before Saima Thakor took her second wicket of the match by dismissing Voll for 101 in 87 balls (12 fours). 

Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney had another 98-run partnership for the third wicket. Perry, who completed 50 runs, completed her third WODI hundred in 72 balls. After scoring two WODI centuries in 2019, Perry scored her first WODI century in five years. 

While Perry scored 105 off 75 balls (seven fours and six sixes), Mooney scored 56 off 44 balls with the help of eight fours. 

Four batters scored 50+ runs

The Indian bowlers controlled the slog overs by taking wickets, but the Aussie skipper Tahila McGrath had a cameo of 20 not out in 12 balls. While all the top four batters scored 50+ runs, it was the sixth time in the WODI history that a team's first four batters scored 50+ runs in a WODI innings.  

WODI debutant took two wickets

Among the Indian bowlers, Shaima Thakor (3/62) picked up three wickets, while the WODI debutant Minnu Mani (2/71) got two wickets.
