The Australian women's cricket team won the third and final Twenty20 International of the three-match series against India by 15 runs on Sunday in Sydney. The series had already been won by the Indian women's team, who had defeated the Australians in the first two games.

India, looking to achieve a rare clean sweep, decided to field first as they had successfully chased in the first two matches. The tourists put in a disciplined bowling performance, restricting Australia to 136-5 in their allotted 20 overs.

However, India's chase this time was punctuated by wickets at regular intervals. Vellaswamy Vanitha and Veda Krishnamurthy were the highest scorers with 28 and 21, but that did not prove to be enough as India slumped to 121-8 in their 20 overs.
