Shikha Pandey had bagged seven wickets in the tournament building up to the final but failed to create an impact at the MCG on Sunday.
Alyssa Healy was the wrecker-in-chief with her innings of 75 runs in 39 deliveries in Australia's 5th Women's T20 World Cup win.
Australia defeated India by 85 runs in the final of the ICC Women's World Cup 2020 at the MCG after setting a mammoth target of 186 runs.
Both Healy and Mooney were dropped by Indian fielders within the powerplay overs.
Harmanpreet Kaur said that they will have to be more focused in the big matches after the humiliating loss in the final of Women's T20 World Cup.
Though failing to cause much impact in the match, Richa Ghosh batted for more than six overs and partnered Deepti Sharma for a stand of 30 runs.
Team India were playing their maiden T20 World Cup final in comparison to Australia's sixth and the inexperience was exposed perfectly in their 85-run loss.
The earlier record belonged to the West Indies men team who had scored 161 while chasing England's 155 in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup.
It seems extremely difficult for India to make a comeback from this situation.
Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney were women on purpose at the final stage on Sunday and looked set right from the word go.
