Jemimah Rodrigues smashed a stylish 49 off 36 balls before heavens opened up to force the abandonment of the first Women's T20 International between India and Australia.

India scored at a quick clip to reach 131 for 4 in 15.2 overs and were looking good for a total of around 165 plus when heavy rains put paid to the hopes of a complete game. However, for the Indian team, their positive approach towards batting was a welcome change with Smriti Mandhana (17 off 10 balls) and Shafali Verma (18 off 14 balls) providing a rollicking start.
