This was Mooney's first Test match in India.
Talk about unfortunate layoffs and Beth Mooney will know all about it. Australia's openers played like never before in the IND vs AUS Women's Test at the Wankhede Stadium. By the end of his fourth half-century, things were going Mooney's and the Australian visitors' way. However, a moment of confusion disrupted their middle position and put India in the driving seat.
At 33, Beth Mooney is just 17 runs away from her first fifty for India. After cutting the track from 187 to 138 and sporting a 40 in the first round, Mooney seemed to have accomplished something big.
Like Smriti Mandhana earlier in the IND vs AUS women's test, Beth Mooney was deemed too lazy. After defending the ball against Rich Ghost with the striker's short leg, the left-hander decided to go off the field.
Richa wasted no time and threw the ball towards the stumps while Mooney dragged his bat after fouling the stumps. From 49-0, Australia was quickly restricted to 56-2 and Phoebe Litchfield left soon after.
