India misplaced the fifth and remaining girls’s T20I by 54 runs right here on Tuesday to finish the collection on a disappointing notice.
Sent into bat, Ashleigh Gardner (66 not out) and Grace Harris (64 not out) smashed explosive unbeaten fifties as Australia posted an imposing 196 for 4.
Heather Graham then claimed a hat-trick, solely the second girl cricketer from her nation to take action, to bowl out India for 142.
“I think we were really good in the first 10-12 overs. We know the kind of power they (Australia) have in their game, unfortunately we weren’t able to stop them. Lot of learnings for us,” Harmanpreet stated within the post-match presentation.
“We knew the type of cricket they play, happy to have improved though in a lot of areas. Lot of things we learnt from them, the way they were clearing the boundaries – that’s something we’d like to bring in.
“Self-belief has been the most important constructive on this collection. We have a month off now the place we might like to coach exhausting earlier than the World Cup,” she added.
Australia stand-in skipper Tahlia McGrath said they take pride in playing fearless cricket, which was on full display on Tuesday.
“It’s all the time a fierce battle towards India, and this collection did not disappoint. The energy sport is spectacular to look at, beloved watching Ash (Gardner) and Grace (Harris) immediately.
“We pride ourselves on fearless cricket, like to take the game on and stay ahead. The crowds have been the best thing about the series, India came hard at us,” she stated.
Gardner, who was adjudged Player of the collection, stated she is simply having fun with her sport.
“Just enjoying my cricket more than anything else, reaping the benefits on the field,” she stated.
“I think it’s easy batting with someone like Grace, who has the power game to back up the chat. I’ve just enjoyed my cricket over the last 12 months. I feel some games I’m more of a bowler, in others a batter.”
