Alyssa, the regular Australia captain, was at her menacing best to it an unbeaten 137 from just 84 balls, laced with 23 fours and three sixes, as the hosts chased down India A\u2019s 216 in only 27.5 overs. India A had already sealed the three-match series by winning first two games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Alyssa ensured Australia finished the white-ball leg of the multi-format series on a high before focus shifts to a one-off four-day match beginning at the Allan Border Field on Thursday. Alyssa also made the most of twin reprieves \u2013 on seven when a catch was spilled by the fielder at mid-wicket, and again on 49 when a diving effort in the deep was adjudged not clean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She found an ideal ally in Tahlia Wilson, who struck a fluent 59 in an opening partnership worth 137. Tahlia\u2019s dismissal to skipper Radha Yadav was India A\u2019s lone breakthrough before the chase rapidly closed out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, India A had looked set for a bigger total after openers Shafali Verma (52) and Nandini Kashyap put on 86 runs for the first wicket. Shafali\u2019s stroke-filled half-century, which included seven boundaries, gave the tourists a bright start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
