Run out without facing a ball in the first innings of the oneoff Test, it was a nightmarish start to the India tour for young Australian opener Phoebe Litchfield. In the second innings of that game, which was only her second Test, she got bowled for 18 attempting an ill-advised reverse sweep. From there, however, began a phenomenal comeback by the 20-year-old.

Australia win by 190 runs, sweep series

She top-scored for Australia in the first two ODIS, before slamming her second century in the format at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday to help her team earn a series-sweeping 190-run win. 

It was the third-heaviest defeat for India in women's ODI cricket.

Not much went right for India as they suffered their 10th straight ODI defeat at home against the Aussies. Opting to bat first once again, the visitors rode on a 189run opening stand between Litchfield (119) and skipper Alyssa Healy (82) to post 338/7- the highest-ever total conceded by India in the format. In reply, Smriti Mandhana top-scored with 29 as Harmanpreet Kaur and Co were bowled out for 148 in 32.4 overs.
