Aus W v Ind W: India really tested us and gave us a great challenge, says Meg Lanning

The Indian women's team committed batting harakiri despite a fine half century from opener Smriti Mandhana to lose the third and final T20 International to Australia by 14 runs and the series 0-2 here on Sunday.

Chasing a challenging 150-run target, Mandhana smashed 52 off 49 balls and shared 57 runs with Jemimah Rodrigues (23 off 26) for the second wicket to set the platform for India before the visitors lost four wickets in a span of 10 runs to lose the plot.

For Australia, right-arm pacer Nicola Carey (2/42) was the pick of the bowlers, while Ashleigh Gardner (1/22), Annabel Sutherland (1/13) and Georgia Wareham (1/15) scalped a wicket each.

India thus ended their Australia tour heartbroken, having already lost the three-match ODI series 1-2 before drawing the rain-marred lone historic day/night Test.

India's run chase started on a disappointing fashion as they lost hard-hitting opener Shafali Verma (1) early, caught by Vlaeminck at short fine-leg off Gardner in the second over.

But Mandhana looked in ominous touch as she displayed her wide range of shots -- pulling, clipping off the pads and hitting through covers region -- to pick up three boundaries in the fifth over.

Mandhana and Rodrigues played with caution with the former finding the boundaries in between as India reached 54 runs in the 10th over.

Rodrigues then hit Wareham straight over mid-on in the next over but she departed two balls later in search of too many boundaries, caught at long-off by Vlaeminck.

Mandhana soon reached her fifty off just 46 balls with a boundary off Carey but she perished four balls later, caught by Australia skipper Meg Lanning as India reached 93 for three by the end of the 15th over.

Needing 57 off 30 balls, India's chase derailed thereafter as they lost two more quick wickets, including that off skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (13).

It was yet another failure from Kaur as she drove one straight to Lanning off Sutherland while trying to clear the inner circle.

Pooja Vastrakar (5) was then cleaned up by Carey in the next over as India slumped to 99 for four in the 17th over.

From there on, it was no looking back for Australia as they restricted India to 135 for six.

Richa Ghosh remained unbeaten on 23 off 11 balls while Deepti Sharma was not out on 9.

Earlier, opener Beth Monney scored a half-century while Tahlia McGrath provided late flourish with an unbeaten 44 to help Australia put on board a decent 149 for five.

Opting to field first after winning the toss, the Indian bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals but the hosts scored 40 runs in the last 19 balls to seize the momentum.

Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/37), Renuka Singh (1/23), Pooja Vastrakar (1/24) and off-spinner Deepti Sharma (1/24) were the wicket-takers for India as Australian batters struggled to score freely in the middle overs.

Mooney top-scored for Australia with a 43-ball 61 with 10 boundaries.

Towards the end, McGrath scored 44 not out off 31 balls and together with Gerorgia Wareham (13 not out) added 32 valuable runs for the sixth wicket to get Australia close to the 150-run mark.

McGrath hit six boundaries and one six.

India made one change, bringing in Harleen Deol in place of Yastika Bhatia. Australia too made a change with Annabel Sutherland coming in for Hannah Darlington.

India had lost the second T20I by four wickets, while the opening game was washed out.&nbsp;

Smriti Mandhana's fifty in vain as India suffer 14-run defeat in 3rd T20I against Australia, lose series 0-2

Australia batters held their nerve to beat India by 4 wickets in a low-scoring thriller at the Carrara Oval on Saturday. The home side chased the target of 119 in the 19.1 overs to seal the multi-format series with one match to spare. Australia won the ODI series 2-1, drew the Test and now this win in the second T20I has handed them the series.

Tahlia McGrath was the architect of this win for Australia as she scored an unbeaten 42, opener Beth Mooney also played a valuable inning of 34 for the home side. For India, Rajeshwari Gayakwad scalped three wickets while Shikha Pandey, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma returned with one wicket apiece.

Earlier put into bat, a brilliant Pooja Vastrakar cameo masked a fairly disappointing show from India. After Tayla Vlaeminck removed both openers inside the first three overs, the Aussies ran riot. It was an Indian innings characterised by poor shot selection and calamitous running between the wickets. But the Vastrakar cameo (top-scoring with 37* off 26) certainly kept them in the contest.

Chasing 119 to seal victory in the multi-format series, Australia was dealt a huge blow in the first over when a sensational ball by Shikha Pandey beat Alyssa Healy in both swing and seam movement. Healy walked back on 4 off 2. Beth Mooney was then joined by Meg Lanning on the pitch and the duo made sure the home side didn't lose any more wickets in the powerplay. Australia`s score read 33/1 after the first six overs.

In the very next over, Meg Lanning was removed by Pooja Vastrakar after the Aussie captain edged to Richa Ghosh. Lanning walked back after scoring 15 off 20 balls. Wickets kept falling for the home side, as India captain Harmanpreet Kaur struck in the 8th over and dismissed Ashleigh Gardner for 1.

Things went from bad to worse for Australia when their star all-rounder Ellyse Perry walked back to the dressing room in the 10th over, after Deepti Sharma struck for visitors. At the halfway mark in the innings, Australia's score read 53/4.Tahlia McGrath then joined Beth Mooney on the pitch and the pair started rebuilding for the home side.

However, Rajeshwari Gayakwad broke the partnership in the 14th over after she removed the dangerous-looking Mooney. The Aussie opener walked back after scoring 34 off 36 balls.

Gayakwad struck again in the 17th over as she removed Nicola Carey. With the match looking to go down the wire, Tahlia McGrath and Georgia Wareham took no chances as the pair amassed 11 runs in the 18th over and followed it by 13 runs in the next six balls, which almost sealed the win for Australia.

In the last over, McGrath took one run and won the multi-format series for Australia.

Brief Scores: India 118/9 (Pooja Vastrakar 37*, Harmanpreet Kaur 28; Sophie Molineux 2-11) vs Australia 119/6 (Tahlia McGrath 42*, Beth Mooney 34; Rajeshwari Gayakwad 3-21).
