India women chase first ODI series victory vs Oz

Was it just one bad game that Australia needed to shake off before the World Cup? Or was it the statement win India needed to carry confidence into the tournament?
As the top two ODI sides head into the series decider at the ‘Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday — after India sealed their biggest-ever win over Australia in the second ODI — plenty is at stake.
For India, the timing is particularly sweet. Fresh off their first-ever series win in England, the hosts now have a chance to tame Australia at home and live up to the billing as the team to beat.
“Tt was crucial for us to win that second ODI, and it brings a lot of confidence to all of us heading into the World Cup,” said India spin all-rounder Sneh Ranaat the pre-match press conference.
