WATCH: Beth Mooney falls victim to Richa Ghosh’s brilliance in spectacular run-out move in one-off Test
In the ongoing one-off Test between India and the Australia Women’s team, the home team, India is in front at the end of day Three. Batting first, the Kangaroos were bowled out for 219. Pooja Vastrakar took four wickets while Sneh Rana took three and Deepti Sharma two. In reply, the Asian side managed to get 406 runs with four batters getting a fifty.
After the first innings, the home team led by 187 runs. Chasing this to make India bat again, the visitors had a great start as Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield put together 49 runs for the first wicket. However, the former ran out due to her casualness. Mooney saw the ball going straight into the hands of Richa Ghosh. However, despite this, the left-hander didn’t make enough effort to get back into the crease which is why she got run out.

Not sure Stuart Broad would approve of this. Batter clearly wasn’t looking to take advantage and the fielder didn’t warn her first. Not out. Morally. pic.twitter.com/7NMpmNe2Wy
