That brings an end to our coverage of this series. It was pleasure bringing you all the updates from this close-fought series. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator Ninaad Dixit, scorer Asraj Khan and statistician Aman. Ta ta. Bye bye.
Australian captain Alyssa Healy receives the trophy after winning the series by a 2-1 margin. She poses along with her teammates for the photographs behind the 'Winners' board.
Alyssa Healy (Australia Women Captain): "That's one of the flattest wickets I've ever played on. I did get some advice coming into this game that it could be 400+ and it was very close to that. A great game of cricket and we came out with the result we wanted which was the main thing.
We just spoke a bit about the game turning a T20 and approached it that way for the next 20 overs and squeeze as much as possibly can. If we could keep the boundaries out - which was a really difficult thing to do for both the sides - if we could do that, create some false pressure, that way we might be able to break through the middle order and we did just that. Tough wicket for the bowlers tonight but happy for the girls for hanging in there.
We are in a really good place. We've had to adapt to some different conditions, fielded in the heat as well. We are well placed and hopefully we can take that momentum into the tournament.
You can't defend the World Cup. You gotta go out there and win it. You've got to beat every side in the world to lift that trophy and that is something really driving this group. India played a fantastic series. They will be one to watch throughout this World Cup. I am really looking forward to getting stuck into it."

Smriti Mandhana (Player of the Series): "Well I think the only thing to think is not to think too much. That was the only plan. We knew the wicket is good and the outfield was fast. You would get value for your shots. Just staying there.
You don't have a choice. You have to play that brand of cricket. If we had won the series, it would have been a great to win the series. But a good series this one.
I'm just focusing on my routines. Not overthinking. Doing nothing different. Just thinking about the match."

Beth Mooney (Player of the Match): "It was a very nice wicket. Volly and Pez got us off to a really nice start and built a partnership, just wanted to keep that momentum going.
We were just building partnerships and taking the bowlers where we could. We aimed for 430-450 at one point and sort of slowed down at the back end.
I just want to contribute to the team and the wins that we have but playing in these conditions and understanding them is really important going into the World Cup. Hopefully they are not all as that wicket and the games don't feel like a T20 through the 100 overs. It's nice to hit something out of the middle.

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): "Yeah I think lot liking the fact that we are on the losing side. But lots of positives for us in this series. Lots of learnings as well. We will take the positives from this series.
I think today the way Deepti and Sneh batted. In the last game also, Sneh batted and we know we have the batting and can play shots in the middle. Fielding is something we are working hard but we are still missing chances. We will sit together and talk about it. But lots of positives and learnings to take from this.
The good thing is that we have so many players now and we can try combinations. But World Cup is a long tournament. Every team is different. Let's see how we can go about it.
It was a good series. We gave them a tough series. I don't think they haven't got anything easy in this series. We are looking forward to the home World Cup."
