Australia rode on Lisa Keightley's allround performance to romp home to a comfortable eight-wicket victory in the fourth one-dayer at Vapi. Keightley followed up her 3 for 17 with a fine 80 as Australia won with more than five overs to spare. After suffering a setback in their previous game in Mumbai, Australia came back strongly and now lead the seven-match series 3-1.

The Australian bowlers justified their decision to field first by keeping India down to 170. Jaya Sharma made a patient 43 but most of the batsmen struggled against Keightley's medium pace.

Chasing 171, Australia got off to a solid start with Keightley and Belinda Clark negotiating the first 15 overs. Clark was dismissed for 23, bowled by Jhulan Goswami, but Karen Rolton made a steady half-century and added 96 for the second wicket with Keightley and took them past the finish line.
