IND-W vs AUS-W Pitch Report: Australia will target another easy win when they host India in the third and last ODI match in Perth on Wednesday. The hosts will be looking for a 3-0 series whitewash while the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team will eye a consolation win after a poor show in the first two games in Brisbane.
The veteran all-rounder Ellyse Perry and youngster Georgia Voll registered centuries to help Australia post a huge total of 371 and then Annabel Sutherland picked four wickets to earn the hosts their biggest-ever ODI win against India women.
India might look to check their bench strength by giving Tejal Hasabnis and Arundhati Reddy chances in their playing eleven on Wednesday. Australia might also be tempted to change their winning squad having already secured the series.
