The Australia 'A' Women completed a 3-0 sweep against India 'A' Women by beating the latter by five wickets in the third One-Day International yesterday. The clash was a dead rubber as Australia 'A' had taken an inaccessible 2-0 lead after beating the hosts in the first two matches by 91 runs and four wickets respectively.

Choosing to bat, skipper Punam Raut led from the front with a 98-run knock from 123 balls as the hosts managed to put 254-8 in the allotted 50 overs. Raut was in a class of her own as she hit 16 boundaries at the Mumbai Cricket Association's Bandra-Kurla Complex facility. But, once again, she ran out of partners. Mona Meshram (57) too played her part while Sushma Verma remained unbeaten on 40.
