Australia Women recorded a 321-run win against India A in Tuesday's 50-over warm-up match in Mumbai.

Having posted 413/8 earlier in the day, after India had won the toss and sent the hosts into bat, Australia got off to a fast start in the second innings with Ellyse Perry (2/14) claiming two quick wickets.

Fellow opener Megan Schutt (3/24) was also impressive as Australia’s bowlers took control, claiming wickets at regular intervals. Leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington (2/11) also picked up a few scalps as Australia bowled India A out for just 92 in the 29th over.

Captain Anuja Patil was India's top-scorer with just a run-a-ball 16.

Earlier, Beth Mooney starred with 115 before she retired, while Nicole Bolton (58), Perry (65) and Ash Gardner (90) all registered half-centuries – the latter hammering 90 off just 44 balls, including nine fours and six sixes.

Sarika Koli claimed 3/67 but it came with an economy rate of 8.37.

Australia will play a second warm-up match in Mumbai on Thursday with the three-match One-Day International series against India getting underway on Monday in Baroda.
