The match turned into a grand farewell for Australian captain Alyssa Healy, who signed off in spectacular fashion.

Having announced her retirement from ODI cricket last month, Healy walked out to bat amid a touching guard of honour from the Indian players and hammered 158 runs from 98 deliveries.

Australia were also helped by Beth Mooney, who scored an unbeaten 106. Chasing a huge target of 410, India found themselves under immense pressure early on with regular wickets derailing their chase. Despite fighting contributions from Sneh Rana (44) and Jemimah Rodrigues (42), India were unable to build substantial partnerships. They were bowled out for 224 in 45.1 overs, finishing the series in a disappointing way.
