She came in and decided to just dispatch the Australian bowling in all directions. She blazed to a century, then to 150 and remained not out till the end with a spectacular 171 off a mere 115 balls. The blitzkrieg was studded with 20 boundaries and 7 heaves over the fence at a strike rate of nearly 150. She was visibly struggling towards the end, but she was unstoppable.
Thanks to Kaur, 281 in 42 overs always looked to be a difficult target; plus the Indian bowlers kept the pressure on to keep taking regular wickets. Deepti Sharma took 3 wickets, Jhulan Goswami and Flt Lt Shikha Pandey took two wickets each.
