India’s fielding was sloppy as they dropped seven catches which in return helped Australia to keep the scoreboard moving and put up a challenging total of 258/8.
Aussie opener Phoebe Litchfield (63 runs from 98 balls) and Ellyse Perry (50 runs from 47 balls) played crucial knocks to help the team lay a steady foundation.
Unbeaten knocks from King (28* runs from 17 balls) and Kim Garth (11* runs from 10 balls) helped Australia reach 258/8.
Litchfield in the first eight overs was dropped thrice while Alana King was dropped twice in the 48th and the 49th over.
In the final over of the inning, King slammed two sixes against pacer Pooja Vastrakar which propelled Australia to a competitive total.
Deepti bagged five wickets in her 10-over spell and conceded 38 runs. Pooja, Shreyanka Patil, and Sneh Rana picked up one wicket each. (ANI)
