Aussie women win cricket series vs India

A fine all-round performance from Ellyse Perry has helped Australia wrap-up their one day series against India in Vadodara.

The visitors took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after beating India by 60 runs at Reliance Stadium on Thursday.

Opener Nicole Bolton (84 from 88 balls) and Perry (70 from 70) were the fulcrum of the Australian innings as they amassed a strong 9-287.

Beth Mooney chipped in with a quickfire 56 off just 40 balls.

India got off to a strong start and were 0-88 in the 18th over before left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen removed the dangerous Smriti Mandhana who'd rocketed to 67 off just 40 balls.

From there a steady stream of wickets fell for the Indians, who then struggled to keep up with the ballooning run rate.

Jonassen finished with 3-51 as Perry chipped in with the wicket of No.4 Mithali Raj (15) and tailender Poonam Yadav (3) for figures of 2-41.

The third game is on Sunday ahead of a T20 tri-series including England.
