Eden Carson to Smriti Mandhana
HUNDRED FOR MANDHANA! She did not have the best of World Cups and had a couple of low scores coming into this game but has stepped up here in the decider. Carson bowls a flighted delivery, on off, Mandhana gets forward and with a straight bat, knocks it down to long off to get to her 8th ODI ton. Punches the air in delight while crossing over. Takes the helmet off and soaks in the applause from the crowd and her teammates. Mandhana now has the most ODI hundreds for India in women's cricket, surpassing Mithali Raj, who had 7 hundreds.

Hannah Rowe to Smriti Mandhana
OUT! BOWLED'EM! A gem of a knock finally comes to an end! Hannah Rowe takes pace off, fuller and on middle, keeps a bit low too. Smriti Mandhana goes for the big slog across the line but goes through it a bit early. She loses her shape and misses as the ball crashes onto the middle stump. She walks back after an incredible hundred but will be disappointed not being able to stay there till the end.

OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Or is it? Jemimah Rodrigues takes the review. This looked plumb to the naked eye. Jonas fires it in, very full from around the wicket, on off, Jemimah Rodrigues walks across her stumps to sweep it behind square. Tries to take it on the full but misses. The ball goes under her bat and hits her very low on the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing the middle stump. As plumb as it could get.

FOUR! There it is, Kaur with the winning runs! This is near the tramline on off, on a length from Devine, Harmanpreet Kaur is made to reach out. The bat turns in her hand but she still manages to pick the gap. Hits it all along the ground to the right of cover for a boundary to take her side over the line. India win by 6 wickets! Hugs and smiles all around in the Indan camp as they clinch the series!
