Indian women cricket team came up with a stunning show with the bat and the ball as they ended Australia's record-setting 26-match winning run in ODI cricket. Yastika Bhatia hit her maiden half-century, while Shafali Verma too shone with the bat at the top as India registered a two-wicket win over Australia in the third and final ODI to avoid a series sweep in Mackay on Sunday.Chasing a competitive 265, Verma scored 56 off 91 balls, while Bhatia hit an aggressive 64 off 69 deliveries with the help of nine boundaries to lay the foundation of the visitors' win. For India, medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar finished with figures of 3/46, while seasoned seamer Jhulan Goswami picked up three wickets giving away 37 runs.

Earlier, Indian bowlers again let Australia off the hook as the home team recovered from a wobble to post a competitive 264 for nine. Struggling at 87 for four in the 25th over, the hosts recovered through a 98-run stand between Ashleigh Gardner (67) and last-match centurion Beth Mooney (52). India showed remarkable grit and determination to put behind the heartbreaking loss and bounce back to win the final match, which also went down to the wire.
