With three victories from as many matches, India sit at the top of the Group A table, with one more match to be played against winless Sri Lanka on Saturday. Six months ago, it would have been hard to believe if someone had said India would go on to win matches in Australia without key batters Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur firing. But they have done exactly that, defending two sub-140 scores.
