Both India and Australia are on equal footing having won a match against each other in the double-legged league of the women's tri-nation series.
16-year-old Shafali Verma, in particular, was mighty impressive from the beginning, she put the pressure on the experienced Australian bowling line-up.
Smriti Mandhana with her 45 off 40 balls was the highest scorer for India while Jemimah Rodrigues also looked good before departing for 23.
India are on top of the points table after the Harmapreet Kaur-led side beat England by five wickets in the tournament opener on Friday.
