emphatic pull shot to finish it! Short on leg, she swivels on the back foot and cracks it away to the rope behind square
WI Women vs AUS Women, 1st ODI at Brisbane, AUS v WI (W), Oct 08 2023 - Match Result
AUS Women won by 8 wickets (with 211 balls remaining)
Plenty to ponder for West Indies ahead of the second ODI in Melbourne on Thursday. They desperately need Hayley Matthews back. Thanks for your company today. We hope you can join us then.
Alyssa Healy is named Player of the match for her all-round performance. She kept superbly taking two catches, a stumping and affecting a direct hit run out. She then snuffed out any hope West Indies had with a brisk 38 in the chase.
1.16pm Australia win by eight wickets with 35.1 overs to spare. West Indies were completely outclassed in tricky conditions. Australia benefitted from winning the toss and not having to get through Hayley Matthews made life a lot easier. They took 3 for 5 in the first seven overs and West Indies never recovered. They were bowled out for just 83. Without Aaliyah Alleyne's 35 it could have been even uglier. Kim Garth was the pick of the bowlers taking 3 for 8. Australia's chase was not a breeze as West Indies' new ball bowlers tested Healy and Litchfield. But they bided their time before Healy cut loose. Perry finished the job. Australia take a 1-0 lead as both sides head to Melbourne where conditions will likely be far friendlier for batting.
Hypocaust: "This is Australia women's 3rd biggest victory in terms of balls remaining in an ODI in the 50 over era."
