Hobart, Mar 1 (NationPress) Captain Alyssa Healy's remarkable score of 158, alongside Alana King's4-33, propelled Australia to a commanding 185-run victory over India in the third ODI of the multi-format series held at Bellerive Oval on Sunday.

In the first innings, Australia batted impressively, posting a colossal score of 409/7 in their allotted 50 overs despite losing the toss. Healy's outstanding innings concluded in her final ODI appearance, with Beth Mooney contributing an unbeaten 106.

India started their chase poorly, losing Smriti Mandhana for a duck in the second over due to a delivery from Nicola Carey. Although Pratika Rawal and Jemimah Rodrigues managed to add 52 runs for the second wicket, Pratika fell for 27 off 21 balls in the eighth over.

Ashleigh Gardner then dismissed Jemimah, who scored 42 off 29 balls with nine boundaries. The partnership between Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol added 34 runs, but Australia quickly regained momentum.

Within a span of five overs, Harleen, Harmanpreet, Richa Ghosh, and Kashvee Gautam were all dismissed, leaving India in a precarious position at 137/7.

Despite a valiant effort from Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana, who formed an eighth-wicket partnership of 63 runs to delay the inevitable, India's innings ended at 224 in 45.1 overs. Deepti scored 29 off 47 balls before being bowled by King, while Rana made a fighting 44. The last wicket fell to Georgia Wareham as India was all out.
