Australia’s record-breaking ODI win over West Indies in women’s cricket series
Consensus Summary
Australia secured a commanding 103-run victory over the West Indies in the first women’s ODI of a three-match series in St Kitts, setting a record Caribbean total of 341 runs. Phoebe Litchfield led the charge with 77, while Stafanie Taylor’s first ODI century since 2021 (105 not out) nearly ended in disaster when she avoided a run-out at 91. Georgia Wareham shone with 42 off 21 balls and took key wickets, including a three-for haul from Kim Garth, who dismissed the West Indies openers. The match featured notable debuts, including Tahlia Wilson’s sharp stumping, as Australia’s recast team—with five changes from their recent India win—took a 1-0 series lead. Both sources agree on the record-breaking score and Taylor’s century but differ slightly on the scheduling of the second ODI, with the Guardian citing Sunday and ABC Monday. The game highlighted Australia’s dominance in batting and bowling, despite the West Indies’ resilient century from Taylor.
