The 2-1 series win over India in epic fashion. Beth Mooney equaled the record for the second fastest 100 in women's ODIs, only for Smriti Mandana to knock her down to third with a ton of her own. Has she got the distance? Yes, that's it, the fastest 100 for India. To win World Cups, you've gotta be the most adaptable team and the most composed team, and we showed that a lot tonight. Yeah, the Aussies in good nick, 11 days out from their opening fixture of the One Day World Cup.
