Georgia Voll delivered a remarkable performance in Hobart, leading Australia to a One Day International victory against India. Her outstanding century, comprising 101 runs from 82 balls, propelled Australia to a crucial win and put them ahead in the multi-format series.

She reached her century in a somewhat dramatic fashion, benefiting from a dropped catch but was dismissed two balls later. Her innings was pivotal in forming a strong partnership with Phoebe Litchfield, contributing to a match-defining collaboration of 119 runs from 94 deliveries.
