Highlights India Women vs Australia Women and Latest Match Updates: Australia defeated India in the fifth and final T20I by 54 runs to win the T20I series by 4-1. Aussies performed exceptionally well with both bat and ball
Australia managed to put 196 runs on board despite a struggling start. AUS lost their first four wickets in quick successions and it seemed as if AUS would struggle throughout the innings.
However, a 129 runs partnership between Grace Harris and Ashleigh Gardner changed the course of AUS innings. Both of them smashed crucial half centuries. Harris scored unbeaten 64 of 35 balls and Gardner played a not out knock of 66 runs of 32 balls to put 196 runs on the scoreboard against IND.
IND didn’t get a perfect start to the chase as they kept on losing wickets on regular intervals. Deepti Sharma showed valiant efforts and smashed a half century but it wasn’t enough. Heather Graham grabbed four wickets and a hat-trick. This was the second hat-trick by an Aussie women in T20I and it came on the same ground and against Team India only.
