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 women’s team total of 341 runs in the Caribbean. Phoebe Litchfield led the charge with 77 runs, while Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry anchored the top order with a 75-run partnership and 44 off 36 balls respectively. Despite Stafanie Taylor’s first ODI century since 2021 (105 not out), Australia’s bowling attack, led by Kim Garth (3/37) and Georgia Wareham (1/39), restricted the West Indies to 238 runs. Wareham was named player of the match for her explosive 42 off 21 balls at No. 7. The match featured a recast Australian team, with Tahlia Wilson making her ODI debut as wicketkeeper and stumping Aaliyah Allene. Beth Mooney’s injury forced her replacement, while the series lead now sits with Australia after a 3-0 sweep in the preceding T20 series. The second ODI’s scheduling differs between sources, with the Guardian citing Sunday and ABC Monday, highlighting minor discrepancies in reporting.
