Australia's women's cricket<\/a> team has had a remarkable winning streak brought to a halt in devastating but thrilling fashion against India in Mackay.<\/p>\n

The ODI team had won 26 consecutive matches, dating back to March 2018 but on Sunday night their two-and-a-half year reign ended.<\/p>\n

India won on the third last ball of the game and it came as the hammer blow to Australia which had seen three players injured during that one innings.<\/p>\n

The Aussies lost both Rachael Haynes and then Beth Mooney to hamstring injuries during their fielding innings.<\/p>\n

Spin bowler Sophie Molineux then had a ball thrown from the outfield bounce off the turf and hit her in the face, splitting her lip open badly.<\/p>\n

Blood was streaming from Molineux's face and she too was forced off the field, before returning with her head taped up, and she ended up bowling her last three overs.<\/p>\n

In the end it was off Molineux that the winning runs were hit, with Jhulan Goswami belting a four back over the bowler's head to complete the victory and end Australia's streak.<\/p>\n

India needed eight runs off the last two overs. When Sneh Rana was caught out it was 8-259, needing six off eight balls with two wickets in hand.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Beth Mooney (52), Ashleigh Gardner (67) and Tahlia McGrath (47) helped the home side to 9-264.<\/p>\n

Shafali Verma (56) and Yastika Bhatia (64) did the job for India before a flurry of late wickets, but it wasn't enough to drag Australia over the line.<\/p>\n
