The series was the last one played by Jhulan Goswami and the team gave her a proper farewell by winning all the matches, shinning with both ball and bat. While the Deepti Sharma and Charlotte Dean run-out controversy took all the limelight in the third ODI, the Indian bowlers bowled their hearts out to get the win.
