India Women vs Australia Women (IND-W vs AUS-W) 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Card Highlights: Chasing a mammoth target of 299 runs in the 3rd ODI against Australia Women, India Women are 60/1. Earlier, the shoot picked up Richa Ghosh
Opting to bat first, Australia Women got off to a strong start, with openers Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll putting in excellent strokes. The pair stacked up to 58/0 by the end of the Powerplay, putting India Women on the backfoot. However, Arundhati Reddy turned the game around with a furious spell hitting Bhole and Lichfield in the same over. She then dismissed Alice Perry for four and Beth Mooney for 10, leaving Australia struggling at 78/4 in the 17th over. Annabelle Sutherland and Ashley Gardner then steadied the ship with a crucial partnership of 96 runs. Sutherland completed her second ODI century and was dismissed for 110 in the final over, while McGrath remained unbeaten on 56, closing in on a total of 300, 298/6. They also set a new record for the highest team score in women’s one-day cricket in Perth.
Arundhati Reddy was India Women’s standout performer, bowling 4/26 in 10 overs, the highest figure ever recorded by a visiting bowler on this ground. Unfortunately, the rest of the bowling attack struggled to contain the Australian hitters, as missed catches and unexpected lines cost the team dearly. Chasing a target of 299 runs and regaining some respectability in this series, India women now have a big challenge.
