Riding on the ferocious knock of 119 runs from Phoebe Litchfield, Australia Women thrashed India Women by 190 runs in the third and final ODI to complete the clean sweep of the three-match series. It was a thrilling encounter at Wankhede Stadium where Australia Women recorded a dominant victory against their Indian counterparts.

Deciding to bat after winning the toss, Australia set the tone with a commanding performance, showcasing their batting prowess. Apart from Litchfield, Alyssa Healy also played a powerful knock of 82 runs to power the team to a humongous total of 338. The top order displayed exemplary skills that put Australia Women in a dominant position.
The bowling department proved equally formidable for Australia, with their pace and spin bowlers combining to dismantle the Indian batting lineup for 148 in their chase of 339. India failed to stage their comeback with all of their batters departing for low scores. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues scored bigly with their scores of (29) and (25) respectively. The relentless pressure applied by Australia's bowlers left the Indian team struggling to find any momentum.
Georgia Wareham was instrumental in restricting the Indian batters, picking up three crucial wickets at regular intervals. Alana King, Annabel Sutherland and Megan Schutt took two wickets each. This is India’s third-biggest defeat in ODIs.
