India finished third in the ICC Women's World Cup after Jhulan Goswami and her teammates edged out defending champions Australia by three wickets in a playoff cricket match at the Bankstown Oval today.

The Indian bowlers ran through the Australian batting order, bundling the hosts for 142 in 44.4 overs with just three batters - captain Karen Rolton (52), Lisa Sthalekar (30) and Alex Blackwell (19) - managing double digit scores.
