Second One-Day International, Hobart
India 251-9 (50 overs): Kaur 54 (70); Gardner 2-39
Australia 252-5 (36.1 overs): Voll 101 (82), Litchfield 80 (62)
Georgia Voll scored her second international century as Australia defeated India by five wickets in the second ODI, securing the series victory with one match remaining.
The 22-year-old led the innings with 101 runs from 82 balls, hitting 13 fours and one six. Her milestone was aided by India's poor fielding, including being dropped twice—on 19 by Kranti Gaud and 53 by Smriti Mandhana—and a fumble by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh when Voll was on 99, allowing her to take a single and reach the century.
Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, who scored 80 off 62 balls, were instrumental in Australia's chase of 252 runs. They compiled a 119-run partnership for the second wicket after captain Alyssa Healy was dismissed for six by Kashvee Gautam.
Following Litchfield's dismissal, Voll added 82 runs off 67 balls with Beth Mooney before Gautam took her wicket in the 31st over.
Deepti Sharma then dismissed Mooney and Annabel Sutherland, but Ash Gardner ensured Australia's victory with 83 balls remaining. This win also marked the series triumph in Alyssa Healy's final series as captain before her retirement.
Earlier in the innings, Pratika Rawal scored 52 off 81 balls and shared a 78-run opening partnership with Smriti Mandhana. However, India lost four wickets in 7.4 overs, falling to 103-4.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur anchored the innings with 54 runs from 70 balls, helping India reach a total of 251-9.
Bowling for Australia, Ash Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, and Alana King each took two wickets.
