Voll, Perry hundreds seal ODI series win for Australia v India
Hindustan TimesKolkata: Hundreds from Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry, followed by a disciplined bowling performance, helped Australia outclass India by 122 runs in the second ODI and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Brisbane on Sunday. In only her second ODI, Voll scored her maiden hundred while putting on two massive stands — 130 with opener Phoebe Litchfield and 92 with Perry — that propelled Australia to 371/8, their highest total against India. Guiding Voll throughout her innings was Perry, who clubbed a 75-ball 105, hitting a record six sixes and becoming the fourth women’s player from Australia to pass 4,000 ODI runs. Faced with their highest ever chase in ODI history, India sent Ghosh — Priya Punia had opened in the first match — with Smriti Mandhana, but they never got the desired start after the vice-captain chopped Kim Garth onto her stumps in the fourth over.
