The Indian women's cricket team will look to restore some pride when they face off against Australia in the third and final one-day international on Wednesday, December 11, at the WACA Ground in Perth.
After securing a narrow five-wicket victory in the series opener, Australia delivered a thumping 122-run win in the second ODI to clinch an unassailable 2-0 lead. Opting to bat first, Tahlia McGrath's side piled on a massive 371 runs in their allotted 50 overs, marking the highest score ever conceded by India in an ODI. The hosts then dismantled India's batting lineup, bowling them out for 249 in 44.5 overs to seal the match with plenty to spare.
The star performers for the Aussies were Georgia Voll (101) and Ellyse Perry (105), who both registered commanding centuries. On the Indian side, Saima Thakor impressed with figures of 3/62, while opener Richa Ghosh contributed a gritty 72-ball 54, though the visitors were never in serious contention to chase down the mammoth target.
Heading into the final ODI, the Indian side, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will need an extraordinary effort to turn their fortunes around against a formidable Australian team, which has now won its last five ODIs. Meanwhile, India has faltered in three of their previous five 50-over matches, underlining their recent struggles.
After this series, India will head back home to host the West Indies for a white-ball series from December 15 to 27. Australia, on the other hand, will stay in the southern hemisphere, traveling to New Zealand for a three-match ODI series from December 19 to 23.

In response, India's chase stumbled early as they lost Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol cheaply, putting the pressure squarely on the middle order. Richa Ghosh and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur injected some hope with scores of 54 and 38, respectively, while Jemimah Rodrigues tried valiantly to accelerate the innings. However, the Australian bowling attack proved too formidable to handle, as they kept the Indian batters under the pump.
Eventually, the visitors were bowled out for 249, falling short by 122 runs in a one-sided affair.
