Australia’s decision to bowl first in the one-off pink-ball Test at the WACA Ground paid immediate dividends as they dismissed India for 198 on the opening day of the one-off game. In what was a landmark match for Alyssa Healy, playing her final international game, the Australian seamers utilised the pace and bounce of the Perth strip to keep the visitors under constant pressure. Annabel Sutherland was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 4-46, while 19-year-old debutant Lucy Hamilton made an instant impact on the international stage, claiming 3-31 with her disciplined left-arm pace.
