Captain Alyssa Healy (142) led her team to a historic victory with a brilliant century.

Shree Charani (10-1-41-3) bowled a brilliant spell for India, taking crucial wickets of Phoebe Litchfield and Annabel Sutherland. At one point, Australia were 265 for three, but after Healy's dismissal (142), the score slumped to 303/7.
