IND-W V AUS-W: Litchfield's Ton Fires Australia To Highest ODI Total; 190-run Win Over India
ODI World Cup: Phoebe Litchfield and skipper Alyssa Healy raised 189 runs for the opening wicket as Australia Women posted their highest total of 338/7 against India and then dismissed the hosts for 148 to win the third and final ODI by a massive 190 runs for a 3-0 clean sweep at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.
Litchfield's stylish 119 and Healy's commanding 82 propelled Australia to a formidable 338 for 7 setting a new record for the highest total against India in this format breaking the previous record of 332 for 7 back in 2018.
In reply, the Indian innings failed to get going, succumbing to scoreboard pressure as well as some good bowling by Georgia Wareham (3-23), Annabel Sutherland (2-9), Alana King (2-21) and Megan Schutt (2-23) as the hosts were bowled out for 148 in 32.4 overs for one of their worst defeats to the ODI World Cup winners.
