Pacer Reddy's successful win speaks about her hard work and regular practice with the ball. In

Australia out for a mere 133 runs.
On the eve of the second T20I, Bowling Coach Aavishkar Salvi told reporters that "Arundhati
is a very hard-working girl. She comes prepared for any of the tournaments that she comes into. "
"To pick up those four important wickets is a very important game. It was actually a lovely thing
for all of us, as we know how hardworking she is.
Coach Salvi appreciated Arundhati's for 4/26 at the WACA in the third ODI in December
2024. However, in the World Cup, she didn't have enough chances. But regular practice was
going on during the WPL. Finally, she received an opportunity and then came to Australia. She
started once again from where she left off in the last Australia series. She got four wickets at
Perth.
The Australian team was placed comfortably at 68/2. Here, Arundhati was introduced in the
eighth over. She accounted for Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Wareham, Ellyse Perry, and Darcie
Brown as the hosts were shot out for an under-par score.
All this gives us an opportunity to explore, experience, and execute the plans in the main game.
