India snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as Beth Mooney’s brilliant unbeaten hundred ensured a five-wicket win for Australia – their 26th on the trot – in the second ODI in Mackay, Queensland on Friday.

Australia thus took a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. India’s superb batting effort and a sensational start with the ball that reduced the hosts to 52/4 was not enough to halt the streak.
