Priya's dominant performance leads India A to victory over Australia A in final one-day match

In a dominant performance, rookie leg-spinner Priya Mishra shone with a five-wicket haul, supported by Tejal Hasabnis and Raghvi Bist who both notched up impressive half-centuries, leading India A to a resounding 171-run victory over Australia A in the third and final one-day match on Sunday in Mackay.

India A finally achieved success in the third and final one-dayer after having lost five successive games three T20s in Brisbane and two one-dayers here in the six-match white-ball series.

India A scored a modest 243/9, thanks to middle-order batter Tejal's 66-ball 50 and Raghvi's 64-ball 53 before 20-year-old Delhi cricketer Priya took a fifer to dismiss the Australia A batting for just 72 runs for a massive win.

Playing in only her first match on the tour, Priya dismissed opener Maddy Darke and top-order batter Tess Flintoff as the home team was left reeling at 52/4 in the 15th over of the chase.

She then destroyed the middle order taking the wickets of Nicole Faltum , Kate Peterson and Nicola Hancock as the hosts were dismissed in 22.1 over, which gave India A a consolation win.

The one-off unofficial Test will be played in Gold Coast from August 22.

Earlier, a 104-run partnership between Tejal and Raghvi helped India A overcome a shaky start, which saw them reeling at 43/3 in the ninth over.

The duo, which has stood out in the series for its batting, then carried the team to 147 before Tejal was dismissed in the 28th over. Raghvi too followed suit before Sajeevan Sajana and captain Minnu Mani took the team beyond the 200-run mark.

Brief scores: India A 243 for 9 in 50 overs . Australia A 72 in 22.1 overs .
