Australia Women asserted their dominance once again, sealing a 3-0 series whitewash against India Women with an emphatic 83-run win in the third ODI at the W.A.C.A. Ground. The hosts delivered a stellar all-round performance, securing crucial ICC Women’s Championship points and reaffirming their supremacy in the format. Despite India’s spirited efforts, Australia’s consistency with both bat and ball proved too strong to overcome.

Annabel Sutherland shines with a match-winning century

Annabel Sutherland was the standout performer for Australia, anchoring the innings with a breathtaking century. Walking in after a shaky start, Sutherland displayed remarkable poise and aggression, smashing 110 runs off just 95 deliveries. Her innings, featuring nine boundaries and four massive sixes, provided the backbone for Australia’s impressive total of 298/6. She was well-supported by Tahlia McGrath (56 off 50) and Ashleigh Gardner (50 off 64), who played crucial roles in building partnerships during the middle overs.

Smriti Mandhana’s heroic ton goes in vain

Chasing a steep target, India Women’s innings revolved around Smriti Mandhana’s masterful century. The left-handed batter showcased her class and resilience, scoring a brilliant 105 off 109 balls, laced with 14 boundaries and a six. However, a lack of support from the rest of the batting lineup meant India fell short, being bowled out for 215 in 45.1 overs. Harleen Deol (39 off 64) provided some resistance, but Gardner’s devastating spell of 5/30 dismantled India’s middle order.
