India has secured their first Test win over Australia with an eight-wicket victory in a one-off match in Mumbai.

Australia began the final day with five second-innings wickets in hand and a lead of 46, but India ruthlessly dismissed the tourists for 261.

India then chased down a modest target of 75 shortly after lunch thanks to Smriti Mandhana's unbeaten 38.

India's win is their first in 11 women's Tests against Australia, who are ranked number one in the world in the format since the sides first played in 1977.

A first-innings lead of 187 had given India the upper hand in the contest after they posted a commanding 406 in response to Australia's 219.

India's victory was their second in Tests this month having thrashed England by 347 runs in Mumbai.

Australia and India play each other in three ODIs and three T20s starting on 28th December.
