NEW DELHI: Richa Ghosh‘s whirlwind knock of 40* off 19 balls proved not enough as Australia held their nerves in the end to eke out a narrow seven-run win over India and seal the five-match series 3-1 with one game to go.
Chasing a huge 189-run target, Indian openers failed again to give their team a good start with both Smriti Mandhana (16) and Shafali Verma (20) falling inside the powerplay.
But skipper Harmanpreet Kaur used all her experience and kept India in the hunt by adding a 72-run stand with Devika Vaidya for the fourth wicket. The pair took their time and shifted gears once they were set but couldn’t convert their starts into big ones.

India ended at 181 all out in 20 overs.
Earlier, Ellyse Perry top-scored with 72 not out while Ashleigh Gardner contributed 42 as Australia posted 188 for 3 after being invited to bat.
For India, Deepti Sharma took two wickets while Radha Yadav got one after skipper Harmanpreet Kaur opted to bowl.
Australia had earlier won the first and third T20Is while India emerged victorious in the second match.
