Righto, that’s me done here. Thanks for joining us and congratulations to Australia. The OBO will return… but for now we have the report from Australia’s victory in the third ODI against India.

Post Match Presentation:

Annabel Sutherland bags the Player of the Match and Player of the Series:

Their quicks challenged us and picked up a few wickets early, that made things tough. Ash and I were able to grind through and cash in towards the back end. The girls have batted beautifully, we spoke about how we want to play and really glad it came off in these two games.”

India captain, Harmanpreet Kaur:

We bowled well and we were in the game. We have a lot to lean from these games. We’ll go back and analyse the tour. We did well in patches but did not keep the momentum. We have to learn how to take things till the end.”

Australia captain, Tahlia McGrath:

Very happy, Ash (Gardner) and Belsy (Sutherland) were good with bat and ball. Someone different has stood up every game, it’s a collective approach and we back each other and everyone is stoked for them. Our batting is the highlight for me, our top four took the game on in game two, Belsy today, in patches we were good with the ball but there’s a bit of work to do there in terms of being consistent.”
