From 48 for 2, Australia lost the next eight wickets for 24 runs in 23 overs with Mishra dismissing wicketkeeper Nicole Faltum, Tess Flintoff, Kate Peterson. and Hancock. Mishra returned figures of 5 for 14 in his five overs.

McGrath admitted that Mishra had tricks that Australia A were not ready for. “It’s not the way we wanted to end the white ball series,” he said after the game. “When we came in, we were talking about being clinical and we went 6-0, we were very disappointed with that. New wicket today, we thought it changed a bit for the spinners compared to the first two ODIs.

“India batted very well and at one point we were looking at the track of 300. So we are happy with the way we got them back, but yes, we didn’t come up with the bat. Don’t count anything. India, they bowled very well Quicks forward and that new leggie [Mishra] we had tactics that we may not have been ready for.”

Both the sides will meet for the last time in this unofficial Test tour from August 22.
