- India set Australia a target of 171 in their must-win Women's T20 World Cup match at Lord's, closing their innings in 'frantic style' with sixes, drops, and a retirement.
- Australia's bowlers contributed to India's late surge through extras in the final two overs, and India struck early in the chase by removing the second Australian wicket.
Why it matters: India's tournament survival depends on defending 171 at Lord's — a target inflated by Australian bowling errors in the closing overs, meaning Australia's extras may matter as much as India's batting when the chase begins.
