Mackay, Sep 26 Indian women's cricket team veteran Jhulan Goswami was delighted with her individual performance in their 2-wicket win over Australia in the third and final ODI in Mackay on Sunday. India chased down 265 in the 50th over to end Australia's 26-match winning streak in the 50-over format. Goswami, who returned with figures of 3/37 from her 10 overs to play a big role in India's win, said she was glad to have stood up for the side after the narrow loss in the second match. The 38-year-old also hit the winning four that ended Australia's 26- match unbeaten streak. "We were just trying to stay there and finish the game. On Friday, it was difficult for bowlers and today as the senior bowler I wanted to stand up and use the new ball well," Goswami said after the match in which India chased down a highest over 265 for the win. "I knew I could get breakthroughs. That was what I did. It's important to give your best in the field, take positives and that's what I want to do as a senior. Lots of soreness in my body having played backto- back games, need time to recover, but we're looking forward to be a part of the first-ever pink-ball Test," she added. India lost the three-match series 1-2. Two no balls by Goswami became a prime reason for India's loss in the second ODI On Friday. Her second no ball was to be the final delivery of the match with Australia in need of three runs. That illegitimate delivery put paid to India's chances as the eventual last ball was sent towards wide long-on for two runs by the Australians.
