During the powerplay the West Indies Women team scored 49 runs which was a good start but bowling by King broke their momentum which caused the collapse of the top order batting lineup of the team.
West Indies cricket team batting order was reshuffled for the last match of the ODI series. Captain Hayley Mathews and Deandra Dottin opened the innings on behalf of the Windies women. Lucy Hamilton also took her first ODI wicket, sending Dottin back to the pavilion. This wicket changed the momentum of the match for both the teams.
After the Dottin wicket fell Alana King dismissed the wickets of Matthews and Jannillea Glasgow easily. Australian players’ strong fielding made it difficult for the West Indies batters to score the runs.
After the loss of three wickets, Chinelle Henry and Realeanna Grimmond 37-run partnership gave hope to the Windies girls. To complete her five-wicket haul King took the last hope of the team and as a result West Indies lost their final wickets rapidly.
The Australian team chased the target easily as their batter Phoebe Litchfield scored 68 off 56 balls unbeaten. Georgia Voll also contributed a 50- run opening stand before she lost her wicket out. The Aussie team comfortably chased the target and scored 137 runs in 20 overs and only lost one wicket.
