Gardner reached her sixth ODI half-century before falling to Deepti Sharma, but her efforts, combined with Tahlia McGrath’s unbeaten 56, helped Australia post a formidable total of 298/6.

Sutherland performed best with the bat, creating a total of 110 off 95 balls to anchor the innings. His innings consisted of nine fours and four maximums.

Alongside McGrath, the 23-year-old assembled a 122-run stand for the sixth wicket. A victory that proved enough to sweep the three-match series.

With this victory, Australia consolidated their place at the top of the ICC Women’s Championship standings, sitting comfortably with 34 points. They will now face New Zealand in their final three matches of the current cycle and will look to win their third consecutive crown.

India remain third in the table with six ODIs remaining – three each against West Indies and Ireland. To win their maiden ICC Women’s Championship title, India must not only win most of their remaining matches but also hope for favorable results in the remaining encounters.
