Australia showcased their cricketing prowess with a resounding 10-wicket victory against India in the one-off women's day-night Test, held on Sunday. The Australians displayed sheer dominance, bowling India out for a mere 149 in their second innings, before comfortably surpassing a modest target of 25 without breaking a sweat.

This win marked a fitting farewell for captain Alyssa Healy, whose Baggy Green career concluded with a spectacular triumph over an old rival. The end was foreseen once India resumed the third day at 105 for six. Pratika Rawal, contributing a resilient 63, and Sneh Rana, adding 30, nudged India to 132. However, falling short of a challenging target, the team faltered.

Ash Gardner's swift delivery removed Rana, and Annabel Sutherland's critical catch at the circle's edge culminated India's innings. Australian openers Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield secured victory in just 4.3 overs. Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur acknowledged the experience, while Healy reflected on the team's remarkable week.
