Mani and Peterson shine as the ball controls play, before Darke extends the lead.
India A faced a morning collapse but mounted a comeback as offspinner Minnu Mani continued to impress. Australia A scored 212 and 164 for 7 (Darke 54*, de Broughe 58, Mani 5-47) and lead India A, who made 184 (Peterson 5-16), by 192 runs.
On the second day of the match between Australia A and India A on the Gold Coast, the ball dominated play. Minnu Mani took her match tally to 10 wickets after Kate Peterson’s five-wicket haul had given the hosts a slender first-innings lead. Maddy Darke’s unbeaten 54, however, ensured that Australia A set a challenging target.
