India Women v Australia Women – Australia Women tour of India (3rd T20I) – Match Update – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Women secure T20I series
The Australia women continued to breeze through their tour of India without suffering a single defeat, as the easily brushed the Indian Women aside in the 3rd T20I of the 5-match series in Visakhapatnam on March 21, securing a 63-run victory,
and the series win to boot.
The visitors won the toss and elected to bat. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gouher-Sultana-c60424 off Archana
Das, the sole wicket-taker on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 side.
Healy contributed a spectacular 90 off 61 balls, remaining the top-scorer in the match, but was run out in the very last over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alexandra-Joy-Blackwell-c43285 chipped in with a useful 14 in the death overs, and the visitors established a dominant position with the help of
the top order alone.
The host team’s bowling attack was helpless in the face of the tourists’ top three. Das was the only bowler who managed to pick up a wicket and restrict the run flow, conceding 13 in four overs. The remaining bowlers were unable to contain the rampaging
Aussie batters – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Reema-Malhotra-c84471 conceded 14 runs in just one over.
India’s top order was treated with contempt by the Aussie bowlers. Openers Sharma (7) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarah-Coyte-c88762 in the second and fourth over, respectively, and most of the remaining batters fell like dominoes – Harmanpreet Kaur
(4), http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mithali-Raj-c76407 (5), and Veda Krishnamurthy (0) were all dismissed before they had a chance to settle in at the crease.
The lower order attempted to stage a comeback, with the aid of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sulakshana-Naik-c91743 (34) and Malhotra (32), but the runs came too late, and the Indian women were restricted to 88 by the end of 20 overs – 63 runs short of the target.
The visitors bowling attack was spearheaded by Coyte, who took 3 for 19. In an impressive display of economy, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Erin-Alyse-Osborne-c56181 also managed to claim one wicket.
After playing through the series without suffering a single loss, the Australia women will be looking to keep their winning streak going in the 4th T20I of the series, scheduled for March 22 at the same venue.
