Hayley Matthews stood out for West Indies with three wickets, but their batting lineup struggled against Australia’s spin attack. Georgia Wareham and Ashleigh Gardner’s effective bowling restricted West Indies, leading to a collapse in their innings.
Despite brief resistance from players like Afy Fletcher and Hayley Matthews, West Indies fell short and were bowled out for 179. Australia’s victory not only sealed the series but also highlighted their continued dominance over West Indies in women’s cricket.
