Tahlia McGrath's Blitz Seals Australia A's 3-0 T20 Whitewash over India A
Australia A's Tahlia McGrath led her team to a comprehensive 3-0 series whitewash over India A in the third and final T20 match, with a blistering 22-ball 51* that propelled her side to a seven-wicket victory.
India A, batting first, struggled to post a competitive total, managing only 120 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Tayla Vlaeminck, returning to the Australia A lineup, made an immediate impact, dismissing Shubha Satheesh for a duck in the first over.
The Indian top and middle order failed to capitalize on the opportunity, with Priya Punia, Shweta Sehrawat, and Tanuja Kanwar all falling cheaply. Kiran Navgire and captain Minnu Mani provided some resistance with a 57-run partnership, but their efforts were not enough to lift India A to a challenging score.
In response, Australia A's chase got off to a flying start thanks to Grace Wilson's aggressive approach. She struck two boundaries in the opening over and continued to punish the Indian bowlers, hitting two fours and a six off Tanuja Kanwar.
Despite the loss of Katie Mack and Wilson, McGrath took control of the innings, hitting boundaries at will. She targeted Kanwar, Meghna Singh, and Mannat Kashyap, smashing eight fours and two sixes in her match-winning knock.
McGrath's aggressive batting ensured that Australia A reached their target with ease, completing the series whitewash in style.
