Alyssa Healy saved her best for the last to hand India a crushing seven-wicket defeat in the third and final T20I as the visitors bagged the series 2-1 here Tuesday. Healy opted to field after calling it correct, and the bowlers responded to her decision to keep India to a modest 147 for six.

Healy continued her assault smacking Renuka Singh Thakur for a second 15-run over on the trot, which included a six and two fours. In the seventh over, Healy also had luck favouring her when a full-bloodied cut off Vastrakar was claimed as a catch taken by Jemimah Rodrigues at point.
