Queensland [Australia], October 10 : Australia skipper Meg Lanning said the Indian side tested and challenged the hosts during the multi-format series.
Australia landed a crushing blow to India as visitors failed to finish the tour on high after suffering a loss by 14 runs in the third and final T20I here at the Metricon Stadium in Carrara on Sunday.
With this victory, Australia claimed the multi-format series 11-5. India wasn't able to chase the target of 150 in the allotted 20 overs after a spirited performance from Australian bowlers.
"We were looking forward to today, knew India would come back hard. Been a great series, both sides have had momentum. India have really tested us and given us a great challenge," said Lanning after the win.
"Tahlia McGrath, Player of the Series, is a great effort to dominate the series and a number of young players have contributed at different times," he added.
