The Australian women`s team bounced back in the series to beat India by 21 runs in their third T20I at the Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday. With this win, the visitors lead the five-match series 2-1.

In reply to the Aussies’ 172-8, the hosts began well, scoring 41-2 in the first six overs. Opener Shafali Verma (41-ball 52, 6x4, 3x6) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (27-ball 37, 6x4) tried their best, but it was not enough to chase the target.
