These markets cannot keep on going up like this.” UP has now become the go-to place when it comes to religious tourism.

Healy opted to field after calling it correct, and the bowlers responded to her decision to keep India to a modest 147 for six. The stylish batter then returned to to crack a 55 off 38 balls laced with nine fours and a six to lead Australia's march to a series win, and as for India this was their fourth consecutive T20I series loss at home since September 2019.

Healy continued her assault smacking Renuka Singh Thakur for a second 15-run over on the trot, which included a six and two fours.
