BRISBANE, Australia – Australia’s women’s cricket team has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in their three-match ODI series against India, crushing their opponents by a resounding 122 runs in the second match played in Brisbane.
Centuries from Georgia Voll (101) and Alyssa Perry (103) propelled Australia to a commanding 371/8 in their 50 overs. Voll’s innings was particularly impressive, studded with 12 boundaries in her debut series. Perry’s century, her third in ODIs, was a powerful display including six fours and six sixes. India’s chase was hampered by early wickets and despite a top score of 54 from Richa Ghosh, they were ultimately bowled out for 249 in 44.5 overs. Key Indian batswomen Harmanpreet Kaur (38) and Smriti Mandhana (9) fell relatively early.
The Indian team struggled to keep pace with the required run rate throughout their innings. Despite brief periods of resistance, they were never truly in contention after losing early wickets. The final match of the series will be played in Perth on December 11.
