India vs Australia, 3rd ODI, Latest update: Australia win by 97 runs and complete 3-0 whitewash over India. Another show of domination by Australians today as they show utter professionalism with both bat and ball. India, on the other haand, always looked running out of breath. The series is a lesson learnt for them. 3-0 it is, a whitewash and Mithali Raj and her side will need to go back and do the homework. Preview: The series already lost, India women would look to salvage some pride when they take on mighty Australia in the third and final game of the series, a part of the ICC Women ODI Championship, here tomorrow. It has been a disastrous series for Indian women so far as they are yet to taste a victory in four matches, including the two practice games preceding the three-game ODI series. It has been a dominating performance from Australia, who had lost to India in the World Cup semifinals. [caption id=“attachment_4394797” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]
Mithali Raj and Meg Lanning. Reuters[/caption] Australia women have showed their class by registering convincing wins in all the matches. They won the first ODIs by eight wickets and sealed the series with 60-run victory in the second match. Prior to the ODIs, Indian women had also lost both the practice games in Mumbai by massive 321 runs and seven wickets respectively. And come tomorrow, it would be Indian women’s last chance to redeem some pride and bring smiles back to the faces of their fans with a consolation win. But to achieve a favourable result India will have to improve in all departments of the game. In the absence of veteran Jhulan Goswami, the Indian bowling attack looked lacklustre in the series with Shikha Pandey and Pooja Vastrakar leaking runs upfront. The spinners too failed to make any considerable impact with the likes of Ekta Bisht and Poonam Yadav struggling to contain the Australian batswomen in favourable conditions. India’s batting has been unimpressive in the two matches and it has cost the team badly. Opener Punam Raut struggled in both the games and was also guilty of wasting too many deliveries while chasing 288 runs in the must-win second game. Barring left-handed opener Smriti Mandhana, who made 67 off 53 balls in the second ODI, all the Indian batswomen struggled. Much was expected from the likes of skipper Mithali Raj, who missed the first ODI due to illness, Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy and Deppti Shama but all of them failed to make any impact. The onus would be on the Indian batters to shoulder the responsibility tomorrow and hand their side a much-needed morale-boosting victory. Australia, on the other hand, have not put a foot wrong in the tour so far. The Australians have been clinical in all departments of the game, be it batting, bowling or fielding. Opener Nicole Bolton is in sublime touch, following up her unbeaten 100 with a classy 84 in the second ODI. Ellyse Perry struck an unbeaten run-a-ball 70 while Beth Mooney smashed a 40-ball 56 in the last match and the duo would be looking to carry forward its good form. Captain Meg Lanning got starts in both the games before getting out and would be hoping to score big tomorrow.

Australia win by 97 runs and complete 3-0 whitewash over India
Another show of domination by Australians today as they show utter professionalism with both bat and ball. India, on the other haand, always looked running out of breath. The series is a lesson learnt for them. 3-0 it is, a whitewash and Mithali Raj and her side will need to go back and do the homework.
OUT! Vastrakar tries for the fancy scoop off a full delivery, she got down to play the shot, but only manages to get it as far as Carey at short third taking a good low catch. With Ekta Bisht not fit to bat, that’s the end of the match and series.
Australia clinch the series 3-0 completing the whitewash.
After 44 overs, India 233/8 (Pooja Vastrakar 5, Poonam Yadav 6)
Six runs off the over with Vastrakar yet again showing her ability with the bat. She can provide some fireworks if she hangs around for the Vadodara crowd
After 43 overs, India 227/8 (Pooja Vastrakar 1, Poonam Yadav 5)
Schutt runs through her ninth over as well. Only a single run off the over from Poonam Yadav.
After 42 overs, India 226/8 (Pooja Vastrakar 1, Poonam Yadav 4)
Perry delivers a maiden with the result now handwritten on the wall. Always good to see Perry bowl, puts in immense effort every time she is bowling irrespective the match situation.
After 41 overs, India 226/8 (Pooja Vastrakar 1, Poonam Yadav 4)
Jess Jonassen completes her quota of ten overs with only a single run off her final over. Vastrakar gets off the mark.
After 40 overs, India 225/8 (Pooja Vastrakar 0, Poonam Yadav 4)
Five dots and two wickets of the first over with Poonam spoiling the Perry party with a boundary to fine leg.
OUT! One brings two! Pandey hangs her bat out ends up getting a tickle to Healy. Perry will be on a hat-trick.
Shikha Pandey c Alyssa Healy b Perry 0(1)
OUT! Perry’s turn to be among the wickets. Bowled! Through Deepti Sharma. Her vigil has ended after 49 balls. India tumbling quickly.
Deepti Sharma b Perry 36(49)
After 39 overs, India 221/6 (Deepti Sharma 34, Pooja Vastrakar 0)
Vastrakar is new batter, who comes to the crease. India have lost their sixth wicket with Schutt bagging her first of the day.
OUT! Sushma Verma attempts to clear the infield on the offside but with Schutt not providing any pace to work with, she ends up just lofting it half-heartedly. Lanning completes a superb tumbling catch at extra cover
Sushma Verma c Lanning b Schutt 30(35)
After 38 overs, India 213/5 (Deepti Sharma 34, Sushma Verma 24)
Despite the boundary, India can collect only two more runs of the remaining five deliveries and that is the class of Perry. Not giving anything away. Deepti needs to start finding the boundary as well.
After 37 overs, India 207/5 (Deepti Sharma 33, Sushma Verma 19)
Sushma taps it through covers for a single. Deepti takes the aerial route on the onside with Healy screaming for a catch, falls way short of deep mid wicket. Verma taps it behind backward point for a couple. Finishes Jonassen’s over with a big hit.
After 36 overs, India 197/5 (Deepti Sharma 32, Sushma Verma 10)
More than 50 balls since India have scored a boundary. Perry continues to keep it short and back of a length, putting in effort in each delivery. The first over of the powerplay is done with Sushma wafting the air with her bat missing the ball on couple of occasions.
After 35 overs, India 196/5 (Deepti Sharma 32, Sushma Verma 9)
Jonassen complete her eighth over. Another three-run over. Probably these two are waiting for the batting powerplay. Expect them to go after the bowling after this over.
After 34 overs, India 193/5 (Deepti Sharma 31, Sushma Verma 7)
Not going to happen in singles here. 140 still required off 16 overs i.e. more than 8.5 runs an over
The match is not over yet.
After 33 overs, India 189/5 (Deepti Sharma 31, Sushma Verma 3)
Only a couple of singles off Jonassen’s over. No real intensity shown from the Indians. Australia happy to sit back with the spinners operating and keeping the run flow in check.
After 32 overs, India 187/5 (Deepti Sharma 30, Sushma Verma 2)
With the fall of wickets, the run flow has dried up as well. Gardner’s over procures four runs for India, including the first run for verma with a chip to mid wicket.
After 31 overs, India 183/5 (Deepti Sharma 28, Sushma Verma 0)
Wicket-keeper Sushma Verma joins Deepti Sharma in the middle. India need something extra ordinary from here on. The crowds have gone quite and understandably so. Only a single of the over.
After 30 overs, India 182/5 (Deepti Sharma 27, )
Gardner has her third wicket. India in dire straits with 151 runs required from the last 20 overs.
OUT! That’s India’s half-side back in the hut. Mona Meshram perishes. Not the best day for a player returning to the playing XI. Drop catches, misfielding and now out cheaply. Gets to the pitch of the ball and hits it straight down deep midwicket’s throat.
Meshram c Nicola Carey b Gardner 1(5)
