Riding on the performances of Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner, Australia Women took an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the five-match T20I series against India on Saturday in Mumbai.
Australia continue dominance with bat
Invited to bat first, Alyssa Healy played the role of an aggressor to provide a good start. However, Mooney was dismissed for 2, while Healy (30*) sustained a calf strain, and returned to the dugout.
Soon, Tahlia McGrath was dismissed for 9 by Radha Yadav. Nevertheless, the all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner finally returned to form and accelerated the team's run-scoring in the middle overs. She hit 42 off 27 and added 94 run-stand for the third wicket with Perry.
After Gardner's dismissal, Perry was sublime with her ball-striking capabilities, while getting optimum support from Grace Harris, yet again. Perry hit 72* off 42, while Harris remained unbeaten on 12-ball 27. Deepti Sharma was the pick of the bowlers for the Women in Blue with two scalps.
