Series Sweep Against
The Aust. women’s cricket team achieved a 3-0 series whitewash against the West Indies following a nine-wicket victory in the third Women’s One Day International at Warner Park.
Leg-spinner Alana King led the bowling attack with a five-wicket haul, restricting the hosts to a total of 136 runs.
Australia successfully chased the target in 19.4 overs to conclude their Caribbean tour undefeated across both white-ball formats.
Dominant Bowling Performance by Alana King
Alana King recorded her second-best career figures in a Women’s One Day International, taking 5-19 in St. Kitts. The West Indies began the innings with a 49-run opening stand but lost five wickets by the 19th over.
King’s performance was statistically surpassed only by her 7-18 achievement against South Africa during the previous ODI World Cup.
The West Indies innings struggled for momentum after the initial power play, with the lower order offering minimal resistance. Chinelle Henry remained unbeaten on 42, providing the only significant middle-order contribution.
Aside from a 37-run partnership between Henry and Realeanna Grimmond, the batting side failed to build sustainable stands, resulting in a dismissal for 136 in 35.4 overs.
Clinical Run Chase and Series Results
Australia’s pursuit of the 137-run target began with a 50-run opening partnership between Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield.
Following Voll’s dismissal, an unbeaten 87-run stand between Litchfield and Ellyse Perry secured the win. Litchfield ended the match with 68 not out, while Perry contributed an unbeaten 33 to finalize the WODI series sweep.
The victory marks a perfect record for the Aust squad during their tour of the Caribbean. They secured three consecutive wins in the T20I segment before replicating that success in the three-match ODI series.
This performance reinforces Aust’s current standing in international women’s cricket rankings.
