AUSTRALIA has suffered a women's Twenty20 series loss to India, with an unlucky run out the turning point in a 10-wicket defeat at the MCG. 
The tourists claimed an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series yesterday, dominating the rain-affected clash that was delayed then shortened to 18 overs a side.
Australia battled to 8/125, including a collapse of 5/10 that started with the dismissal of top-scorer Meg Lanning (49), who was unlucky to be found short of her ground at the non-striker's end, with diving bowler Harmanpreet Kaur getting a deflecting hand to the ball.Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj guided India to 0/52 after 7.5 overs when rain came again. The target was trimmed to 66 from 10 overs, leaving the victory equation as just 14 off 13 balls when play resumed.
