Alyssa Healy decided to bat at the Ninja Stadium. They were planning to put a big total on the board but England bowlers had some other plans. Phoebe Litchfield was the first player to get dismissed. Her struggles with the bat continued. Soon Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Healy, and Annabel Sutherland lost their wickets. Australia were 59 for four in 14.2 overs. England were looking confident in the final ODI.

Fiver for Alana King
Australia spinners were all over the middle order and lower order. After these two batters got out, Jones and Wyatt-Hodge added 30 and 35 runs each to the team’s total. They were looking good but Alana King had some other plans. She took five wickets, including the last four. King gave away 46 runs in 8.2 overs. She was all over the English batters and Australia comfortably won the third ODI by 86 runs.
Healy and her squad will now aim to win the T20I series and the only Test match.
