Chasing 156 for the win, India got off to a poor start as Shafali Verma was sent packing in the second over by Tayla Vlaeminck. Young batter Richa Ghosh then played the anchor role along with Smriti Mandhana as the duo added 43 runs for the second wicket. Annabel Sutherland removed Ghosh for 17 but Mandhana held her end and went onto to score her 12th T20I half-century.

India were 113 for four after 14 overs, needing 43 off the last five overs with captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Mandhana out in the middle. Once Mandhana lost her wicket, the Indian team suffered a shocking batting collapse and eventually fell 11 runs short of the target.
