Australia Women wrapped up a comprehensive 3-0 ODI series sweep against West Indies Women with a commanding nine-wicket victory in the third and final ODI at Warner Park, St Kitts. After winning the toss and opting to bat, the hosts struggled to build momentum and were bundled out for just 136 in 35.4 overs, a target Australia chased down comfortably in under 20 overs.

The standout performer of the match was Alana King, whose sensational spell dismantled the West Indies batting lineup. The leg-spinner returned remarkable figures of 5 for 19 in her 10 overs, consistently troubling the batters with her variations and accuracy. She found excellent support from Ashleigh Gardner, who picked up two wickets, while Tahlia McGrath and Nicola Carey chipped in with a wicket each.

West Indies never really recovered after early blows. Hayley Matthews tried to anchor the innings with a steady 34, while Chinelle Henry top-scored with a fighting 42. Deandra Dottin provided a brief spark with a quick 22, but regular wickets kept derailing any chance of a competitive total. Lower-order contributions were minimal, as the innings folded without resistance against Australia’s disciplined bowling attack.

In response, Australia Women made light work of the modest target, finishing at 137 for 1 in just 19.4 overs. Phoebe Litchfield anchored the chase brilliantly with an unbeaten 68 off 56 balls, showcasing composure and stroke play. She was well-supported by Ellyse Perry, who added a fluent 33 not out, ensuring there were no late hiccups.

Earlier, Georgia Voll provided a brisk start with 23, before being the only wicket to fall, dismissed by Ashmini Munisar. However, that breakthrough came far too late to influence the outcome, as Australia cruised to victory with ease.

The result capped off a one-sided series, with Australia Women asserting their dominance in all departments. They had earlier secured emphatic wins by 103 runs in the first ODI and 90 runs in the second, underlining the gulf between the two sides.
