Georgia Voll’s brilliant century, scoring 101 runs off 83 balls, propelled Australia to a convincing five-wicket win against India in the second ODI at the Bellerive Oval. Australia’s victory not only secured the ODI series but also gave them a 6-4 lead in the multi-format series. India’s total of 251/9, with half-centuries from Pratika Rawal and Harmanpreet Kaur, fell short on a pitch that offered little assistance to bowlers.
Chasing 252, Australia faced an early setback with the dismissal of captain Alyssa Healy by Kashvee Gautam in the third over. However, a dominant partnership between Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, who scored 80 off 62 balls, shifted the momentum decisively in Australia’s favor. Georgia’s innings, embellished with 13 fours and a six, showcased her composure and skill.
Phoebe’s aggressive batting, including a flurry of boundaries, and Georgia’s steady performance ensured Australia’s successful run chase with 83 balls to spare. Despite losing a few wickets towards the end, Australia’s batting depth proved crucial in securing the victory. Georgia Voll’s remarkable century, supported by contributions from Phoebe Litchfield and Beth Mooney, highlighted Australia’s strong performance in the match.
