Lisa Keightley took 4 for 22 to hurry India to defeat by 32 runs at Surat. Her efforts won her the match award and gave Australia victory in the seven-match one-day series.

However, the day didn't being well for Keightley, after Anjum Chopra bowled her in the sixth over for 10. Karen Rolton and Belinda Clark consolidated with a 40-run second-wicket partnership, before Melanie Jones kept up the momentum with a 62-ball 25, which included three fours and a six. But their work was undone as they lost five wickets for 26 runs to slide from 123 for 4 to 160 for 9 in the last nine overs. The slow-left arm bowler Neetu David was the most expensive, conceding 39, but she did complete one more over than her official quota.

In reply, India lost their first wicket in the sixth over too, but did not build enough partnerships to make an effective challenge. Hopes were briefly raised when Mithali Raj and Mamatha Maben, India's captain, were putting 38 for the fourth wicket, but after Julie Hayes accounted for Raj, Keightley cleaned up as India fell 32 short.
