Australia win by six wickets with 17.4 overs to spare

Comprehensive win for the Aussies. Litchfield gave them the early momentum, then there was a small wobble when she and Voll went quickly, but the old heads filled in for the youngsters, with Healy and Mooney putting the chase back on course, and Sutherland finishing the job.

Australia draw level on points in the multiformat series, having lost the T20 leg 2-1. We’ll have the next ODI in a couple of days. Thanks for your company.

38.2 overs: Australia 217-4 (Sutherland 48, Gardner 5) And that is that! Sutherland hits Deepti over midwicket for six to seal the game.
