Mumbai: India failed to avoid a 0-3 series whitewash against Australia after losing the third women’s ODI by 190 runs here Tuesday.
Chasing a daunting 333, India folded for 148 in 32.4 Overs. Deepti Sharma (25 not out), Smriti Mandhana (29), Jemimah Rodrigues (25), Richa Ghosh (19), and Pooja Vastrakar (14) couldn’t capitalise on their starts as India’s batting completely fell apart.
Earlier, Opener Phoebe Litchfield struck 119 off 125 balls, while skipper Alyssa Healy made an 85-ball 82 as Australia posted an imposing 338 for seven against India.
This was Australia’s highest total against India, bettering the previous best of 332/7 in 2018.
Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil was the most successful bowler for India, finishing with figures of 3/57.
