India upset defending champions Australia in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 campaign opener in Sydney Showground Stadium on Friday. Poonam Yadav's four-wicket haul changed the course of the game as Australia, who were chasing 133, collapsed from 55/1 to 115-all out. Shafali, making her world cup debut, took on the Aussie bowlers with five fours and a six in her 15-ball 29. From 41/0, India slipped to 47/3 when captain Harmanpreet Kaur (2) was stumped off Jonassen. Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues soon got India to a stable condition as they added 53 runs for the fourth wicket.
