Highlights, Australia Women vs India Women 3rd ODI, Full cricket Score: India end Australia's streak with thrilling win

13:40 (IST)

What a series this was. A paisa vasool for those who made it to the ground in all games. The last two matches went down to the last over and had that no-ball not been bowled in 2nd ODI, India might well have been ahead in this series 2-1. But that's the sport. There are no ifs and buts. Indians still have a lot to improve upon, especially the fielding. 

There were several drop catches today from the Indians and had they been taken, Australians could have been bowled out for a lesser score. 

Australia's streak finally came to an end. It started with Australia beating India in India in 2018 and it has ended with India beating them in Australia. 

We now head to the historic Test match, that starts on 30 September at Carrara Oval in Queensland where the 3 T20s will also take place from 7 October. 

Do come back to our coverage of the remainder of the India women's tour of Australia. We will also be live blogging tonight's IPL contest. Do log in to check score and commentary. 

For now, good bye. 

13:32 (IST)

Yep. That's how we all reacted to this finish!

13:32 (IST)

Something about Indians breaking Aussie streaks

13:31 (IST)

Jhulan finishes off in style!

13:30 (IST)

Mithali Raj, India captain: I think we’re feeling happy that we won the last game. The winning streak started against India in India, and now we’ve broken the streak. It’s good to have a little bit of depth in the batting order. We have bowlers who can bat. We have tried all-rounders and they have stood up. Yastika’s partnership with Shafali was very important. Sneh’s cameo was very important for the team today. The way we bounced back in the 2nd game, it showed we can fight back. It was good to chase, and we know we are good chasers, but at some point we also have to put up good scores.

13:29 (IST)

Meg Lanning, Australia captain: It was a great contest throughout series. Full credit to India, they came out fighting with the ball and kept fighting with bat. I knew she would be coming out, she is a tough character. She showed how good she can be in tough situations. We were running out of players at one stage. But players did well. Campbell was impressive in her debut. We don't change much for the Test. We will try and find the right tempo. 

13:26 (IST)

Jhulan Goswami is the Player of the Match!

Goswami: We’re just trying to win the game, just stay there and finish the game. Yesterday we lost by a narrow margin because of a lot of dew, but today was about hitting the ball in the right areas and getting early breakthroughs. It was about sticking to the plans and executing. Important to give your best whenever you come to the field, and as a senior player and taking positives, I was trying to do that. Lot of soreness in the body. Will need time to recover. We’re all looking forward to first pink-ball Test.

13:21 (IST)

FOUR! India win, they beat Australia by 2 wickets in 3rd ODI and break Australia's 26-match winning streak.

Jhulan Goswami gives a charge to Molinuex and hits it straight down the ground for a boundary to seal the game for her side. She punches the air in jubilation and why not! In last match, she could not deliver under pressure with the ball in hand but in 3rd game, she has done it with the bat. India get the all-important 2 points before heading to the Test match at Gold Coast.

What a game we have had. These two ODIs will be remembered for a long time.

Molineux bowling with brains. Goswami takes a single off the first ball and then Rana gives her a charge, she bowls fuller to keep her quiet. Then a quick single. Players diving, hard running between the wickets. India need to keep calm here. India need 8 off last 12 balls. 

13:09 (IST)

After 47 overs,India Women 255/7 ( Sneh Rana 28 , Jhulan Goswami 1)

What drama this is. Wicket on the first ball and then Rana hits three boundaries to bring the equation to 10 off 3 overs. The momentum shifting after every ball.

13:02 (IST)

After 46 overs,India Women 241/6 ( Deepti Sharma 21 , Sneh Rana 16)

India batters continue to run nervously between the wickets. One more close shave at bowling end. Rana survives as throw does not hit the sticks. She gets one more reprieve as caught and bowls Rana but off a front foot no ball. That is now a run for India and a free hit. Just one off that ball. India need 24 off 24 balls.

13:01 (IST)

How costly will that prove for the Aussies?

12:57 (IST)

FOUR! That goes for four, that will do for India, Rana dances down the track and then opens the face of the bat to guide it to square on off side.

12:56 (IST)

After 45 overs,India Women 232/6 ( Deepti Sharma 28 , Sneh Rana 11)

Brave Molinuex comes back into attack. Brilliant effort from Perry to stop a certain boundary, two saved there. Rana smashes one back to her again. She has a swollen face with a throw hitting her not long back and now this is smashed back hard at her, which she stops safely. If that had stuck, it could have been a great catch. And Carey has dropped a catch, she was blinded by the sunshine and could not hold on to the catch at square leg. India Women need 33 runs in 30 balls.

12:51 (IST)

Sheer commitment

12:40 (IST)

After 41 overs,India Women 210/6 (Deepti Sharma 16, Sneh Rana)

Sutherland, you beauty. Terrific delivery to dismiss Vastrakar and what a time to do it. Aussies not letting partnerships prosper here. Deepti joins Raj in the middle. Nice change of pace from Sutherland to Deepti, the batter did well to evade that. She pulls on last ball and top edge carries to fine leg on several bounces and the throw from Campbell hits Molinuex on her chin and the blood rushes out. She if off the pitch. India Women need 71 runs in 66 balls. 
 

12:23 (IST)

OUT! Vastrakar goes. Clean bowled by Sutherland. Finds the gap between bat and pad and the ball hits the timber. Vastrakar played down the wrong line and paid the price. India have lost half of ther side. Vastrakar b Sutherland 3(14)

12:15 (IST)

After 36 overs,India Women 183/4 (Mithali Raj (C) 8, Pooja Vastarakar 2)

12:02 (IST)

After 33 overs,India Women 171/3 ( Yastika Bhatia 60, Mithali Raj (C) 2)

Sutherland continues. Five off the over. This Bhatia-Raj combination can work for India. Bhatia needs to ensure she is there till the last. Raj can continue batting the she does, taking her time and occupying the crease. 94 more needed.

11:59 (IST)

Certainly has made good use of the opportunities handed to her

11:57 (IST)

After 32 overs,India Women 166/3 ( Yastika Bhatia 57 , Mithali Raj (C) 1)

11:53 (IST)

After 31 overs,India Women 166/3 ( Yastika Bhatia 57 , Mithali Raj (C) 1)

Soft dismissal for Ghosh. Gone for a duck. That breaks the flow. She needed to stay there and make sure there were no further hiccups but Aussies now see a chance with two quick wickets falling. Captain Mithali Raj comes into bat at 5. She takes two balls to open her account. Bhatia collects one more boundary off the last ball. India need 99 to win.

Australia Women Vs India Women, 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: FOUR! India win, they beat Australia by 2 wickets in 3rd ODI and break Australia's 26-match winning streak. Jhulan Goswami gives a charge to Molinuex and hits it straight down the ground for a boundary to seal the game for her side. She punches the air in jubilation and why not! In last match, she could not deliver under pressure with the ball in hand but in 3rd game, she has done it with the bat. India get the all-important 2 points before heading to the Test match at Gold Coast. What a game we have had. These two ODIs will be remembered for a long time.

Preview: After narrowly escaping from the jaws of defeat on Friday, Australia will hope to produce another clinical display in all departments when they take on India in the third and final one-day international at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay on Sunday.

Opener Beth Mooney led from the front with a brilliant unbeaten 125 and was ably assisted by the likes of Tahlia McGrath (74) and Nicola Carey (39*) as the hosts recovered from a shaky start, getting reduced to 52/4 after being set 275 to win, to seal victory in the very last delivery of the game.

India had earlier produced a batting display that was a major improvement from the first ODI, as Smriti Mandhana's 86 and Richa Ghosh's 44 along with a late impetus from the likes of Jhulan Goswami and Pooja Vastrakar helped them finish on 274/7.

The victory stretched Australia's winning run in the 50-over format to a staggering 26. Meg Lanning's side have not lost in the format since October 2017 against England. They'll hope to make it 27 in the clash against the Indians on Sunday before the tour moves to the city of Gold Coast where the one-off pink-ball Test as well as the three T20Is will be hosted at the Carrara Oval.

Squads:

India: Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur (vc), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Punam Raut, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Yastika Bhatia, Taniya Bhatia (wicket-keeper), Shikha Pandey, Jhulan Goswami, Meghna Singh, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav, Richa Ghosh, Ekta Bisht.
