India and their premier bowler Jhulan Goswami failed to keep their nerves in a dramatic final over as Beth Mooney's brilliant unbeaten hundred ensured a five-wicket win for Australia - their 26th on the trot - in the second women's ODI here on Friday.
Australia thus took a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
It was a match that was in India's pocket till the 25th over of the Australian innings, but Mooney, with an unbeaten 125, stunned the visitors in the third highest chase of all-time in women's cricket by knocking off a target of 275.
In fact, the Indian team prematurely celebrated when Goswami's waist high full-toss was hit straight to mid-wicket by Mooney, but to their horror, it turned out to be a no-ball. It was marginal as Goswami's last ball was sent towards wide long-on for a couple to finish the match.
