India Women Vs Australia Women, 3rd ODI: Live Score
Australia began the series with a dominant eight-wicket win in New Chandigarh, where Phoebe Litchfield’s fluent 88 and Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 77 powered them past India’s 281-run target in just 44.1 overs. However, India bounced back strongly in the second ODI at the same venue, registering a thumping 102-run win, their biggest ever against Australia in terms of runs. Smriti Mandhana’s sublime century and disciplined bowling from Kranti Goud and Deepti Sharma played starring roles in that statement victory.
Saturday’s clash carries added historical weight, as India have a rare chance to win a home ODI series against Australia, something they last managed in 2007. All eyes will once again be on Mandhana, who has been in imperious form with the bat, while Australia will look to their experienced core of Alyssa Healy, Mooney, and Litchfield to deliver in a high-pressure decider. With both teams eager to settle scores and carry momentum into the World Cup, fans can expect a fiercely contested showdown in Delhi.
