Australia 8-371 def India 249
A record-breaking knock by Ellyse Perry and Georgia Voll’s maiden international hundred lifted Australia to a comprehensive 122-run victory over India in the second women’s ODI in Brisbane on Sunday.
Perry belted six sixes – the most by an Australian in a single women’s ODI innings – in her 105 from just 75 balls as Australia stormed to an unassailable 2-0 series lead on a scorching Sunday at Allan Border Field.
Earlier, 21-year-old Queenslander Voll backed up her impressive showing on debut in the series opener to score 101 off just 87 deliveries as Australia racked up an imposing 8-371.
Chasing an unlikely victory target of 372, the tourists showed more fight than when they were rolled for 100 on Thursday, but were still dismissed for 249 to fall well short of their target.
Annabel Sutherland was the pick of Australia’s bowlers with 4-38, while Richa Ghosh top-scored for India with 54.
After Australia won the toss and chose to bat, Voll and Phoebe Litchfield got the hosts off to a great start as they posted a 130-run stand before Litchfield fell in the 20th over for 60 off 63 balls.
Things didn’t improve with the breakthrough for the Indians, however, as Voll and Perry shared a 92-run second-wicket partnership, broken only when Voll fell shortly after reaching triple figures.
