Australia chased a modest target of 25 runs without loss after dismissing India for 149 in the second innings to seal the one-off match and the series 1-0.
Sutherland led the hosts with 129 in the first innings, while Ellyse Perry added 76 to power Australia to 323 in reply to India’s first-innings total of 198. The 125-run lead proved decisive as India failed to recover in the second innings despite a fighting 63 from Pratika Rawal.
