3rd ODI: Smriti’s Century In Vain; Australia Clean Sweep India 3-0
Opener Smriti Mandhana: Opener Smriti Mandhana’s ninth ODI century went in vain as Annabel Sutherland’s blistering 110 and Ashleigh Gardner’s 5-30 helped Australia beat India by 83 runs and secure a 3-0 series sweep at the WACA Stadium on Wednesday.
Pushed into batting first, openers Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield put on a stand of 58 runs before Arundhati Reddy turned the game on its head by extracting seam movement in her first spell of eight overs, which saw her take out the duo, Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney to pick a career-best 4-27.
But Arundhati didn’t get much support from India's other bowlers and fielders to tighten the grip on Australia. Annabel, who was dropped on 12, made a brilliant 110 off 95 balls under scorching Perth sunshine – hitting nine fours and four sixes - before being run out on second-last ball of the innings, as Australia made 298/6.
