After a last-ball defeat in the second ODI, the Indian women's cricket team will have to pick themselves up and play for the pride as they take on hosts Australia in the third and final ODI at the Harrup Park in MaCkay.
Australia extended their winning streak to 26 when they chased down 275 in 50 overs thanks to a brilliant knock by opener Beth Mooney who remained unbeaten on 125.
India batted first and got off to a decent start thanks to Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma. Mandhana made 86 off 94 balls while Richa Ghosh played a valuable knock of 44. Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar and Jhulan Goswami all contributed with the bat to ensure India posted a decent total on board.
In the chase, Australia lost the first four wickets for just 54 runs. Then Mooney and Tahila McGrath shared a superb partnership to give hope for their team. McGrath was dismissed for 74 but Mooney and Nicola Carey took charge and took the match till the last over.

They needed 13 off the last six deliveries and the equation came down to three off one ball. Too add to the drama, Goswami bowled a waist-high full-toss which the third umpire called a no-ball and then Carey and Mooney completed two runs off the final ball to seal a sensational win for Australia.
As the visitors look to avoid a 3-0 series loss, Mithali Raj and Co will also hope for a better fielding performance in the third ODI.
