Overview

  • Alyssa Healy's 142 set up Australia's three‑wicket win chasing 331, the highest successful pursuit in women's ODI history, lifting the champions unbeaten to seven points from four matches.
  • Ellyse Perry returned after retiring hurt to finish 47 not out and sealed the chase with a six, while Annabel Sutherland's 5-40 had earlier checked India’s surge to 330.
  • India’s Smriti Mandhana hit 80 and became the fastest to 5,000 ODI runs, but a collapse of six wickets for 36 prompted head coach Amol Muzumdar to criticize the team's late-overs finishing.
  • In Delhi, West Indies responded to the follow-on with centuries from John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103) plus a 79-run last-wicket stand, posting 390 to set India 121.
  • India closed day four at 63-1 needing 58, with Kuldeep Yadav on eight wickets for the match and Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj sharing key strikes as scrutiny lingered on the follow-on call.
