Women's cricket: India A in search for consolation win against Australia A

The final face-off will take place at the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) Bandra-Kurla Complex facility, which is nothing more than a 'dead rubber'.

After reeling in the series 2-0, the India A Women will take on Australia A for the last time in the 3-match series, searching for a consolation victory.

The final face-off will take place at the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) Bandra-Kurla Complex facility, which is nothing more than a 'dead rubber'. The visitors have put up a splendid show in the first two ODIs as they hammered the hosts by 91 runs and four wickets respectively.

For India A, skipper Poonam Raut and Mona Meshram were among the runs. But the others will like to get some runs under their belt to impress the selectors.

Even the bowling has not been up to the mark, as the bowlers have been punished by the Aussie batters. Only Shikha Pandey and Preeti Bose have been among the wickets.

India A Women will have to come up with something special to stop the Australia A Women from recording a clean-sweep.
