 "India bowled out for 100 vs AUS: Full list of women's team's lowest scores")
India's batting line-up collapsed to a mere 100 all out in the first Women’s One-Day International (ODI) against Australia on Thursday, as pacer Megan Schutt tore through with a stunning five-wicket haul. Opting to bat first, India’s innings never took off, with the openers dismissed within the first seven overs.
Priya Punia, making her comeback in place of the dropped Shafali Verma, managed just 3 runs off 17 balls, appearing completely out of rhythm. Smriti Mandhana, known for her elegance, fell prey to a wide outswinger, nicking behind for 8 off 9 balls. Schutt struck again as Punia, attempting to break free, was caught at backward point.

Brief resistance: Rodrigues and Harmanpreet show sparks
The middle order showed glimpses of fight, led by Jemimah Rodrigues and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, both scoring 23 off 42 balls. Rodrigues, batting at number five, seemed comfortable at the crease but fell to Kim Garth while attempting a delicate glide to third man. Harmanpreet was trapped leg before wicket by Annabel Sutherland, cutting short what could have been a captain's knock.
The collapse: From 62/3 to 100 all out
