Australia Completes The Flogging

Jodie Fields has led the Australian Women to a 3-0 flogging over the home side India this week in an ODI series which is part of a short tour.

After winning the first match with reasonable comfort in Ahmedabad, the Australians plastered India in the remaining matches in a display of ruthless cricket.

In the second match at Mumbai, they won by several country miles, making 300 and bowling India out in just 28 overs for 79. Meg Lanning (128 of 104) and Alex Blackwell (81 off 106) stared with the bat and Ellyse Perry (5-19) and Rachael Haynes (3-10) with the ball.

The final match, also at Mumbai, was a five wicket win with 14 overs to spare. Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian's form batsman of the series, top scored in a more respectable total but India, nine wickets down, still struggled to get the ball off the square. Perry, Julie Hunter and Lisa Sthalekar were so accurate that none of the India were at ease. The Australian's blasted their way to the target firstly through Haynes but after early wickets had fallen, it was the fire power of a run a ball 90 not out from Jess Cameron (8 fours and 4 sixes) which directed the Australia to a galloping finish.

Five T20 games against India follow immediately, the first of which is in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
