Ellyse Perry’s explosive century and Georgia Voll’s maiden international hundred propelled Australia to a commanding 122-run victory over India in the second women’s ODI in Brisbane. Perry smashed six sixes, setting a record for the most by an Australian in a single women’s ODI innings, as she scored 105 off just 75 balls. Voll contributed significantly with 101 runs off 87 deliveries, helping Australia post an imposing total of 371-8.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Australia got off to a strong start with a 130-run opening partnership between Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, who scored 60. Voll and Perry then added another 92 runs for the second wicket before Voll was dismissed shortly after reaching her century.
In response, India struggled to chase down the hefty target of 372, ending their innings at 249. Richa Ghosh top-scored for India with 54 runs, while Annabel Sutherland was the standout bowler for Australia, taking 4 wickets for 38 runs. PriyaPunia’s participation was in doubt after she reportedly picked up an injury during the match.
This victory gave Australia an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, with the final ODI set to take place in Perth on December 11. Perry’s performance not only highlighted her prowess but also marked her as a key player in Australia’s successful campaign against India.
