Set 148 to win Australia chased down the target with eight balls to spare, Alyssa Healy leading the way with a 38-ball 55 while Beth Mooney anchored the innings with an unbeaten 45-ball 52

There were smart cameos from Tahlia McGrath (20 off 15) and Phoebe Litchfield (17 not out off 13), and fine bowling by Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham as India made 147. Ellyse Perry, who marked her 300th appearance for Australia by hitting the winning runs with a six in the second match, was out for a golden duck. ellyse perry check perrys news career age rankings

Merited though it was, Australia's win was not without karma, the principal stroke of which was winning the toss, which Healy did after calling heads, rather than her usual tails. The team batting second had won 12 of the past 15 women's games at the Navi Mumbai scene, including both earlier matches in the series. Cricket News, women’s Test Australia India

The second cut of fortune arrived with Australia easing towards the target at 60 without loss in the seventh over. Healy, on 38, slashed Pooja Vastrakar to point where Jemimah Rodrigues took what appeared a brilliant low catch, diving forward. It was the breakthrough India needed and the team and group celebrated as Healy took her cap off and headed for the sheds. Women Live Cricket Score India vs Australia Only Test

Then the umpires asked for a television survey to check whether the catch was clean. After nearly three minutes of inconclusive, obscured replays the television umpire concluded Healy was not out. Women cricket match India vs Australia, 2nd T20I, Live Cricket Score

The battle apparently drained from the Indian team and the large horde of 43,523 fell calm. Healy set her head protector back on and, seven balls later, had reached her sixteenth half-century in her 150th T20I. Women cricket match India vs Australia, 1st T20I, Live Cricket Score

"It got a little bit tight at the end however Tahlia and Phoebe came in and worked effectively," said Mooney.

Earlier Sutherland, the most expensive player in the auction for the forthcoming WIPL at A$364,000, will have pleased Delhi Capitals fans in the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy ground, taking two for 12 in her four overs. Women cricket match India vs Australia, 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score

Wareham took two for 24 in her four overs yet Australia's other bowlers were unusually expensive. For Megan Schutt (one for 36) there was consolation in that her wicket, with a well-disguised slower ball to Shafali Verma, made her the leading wicket-taker in women's T20 internationals with 131.
