Australia’s record-breaking ODI win over West Indies in women’s cricket series
Consensus Summary
Australia secured a dominant 103-run victory over West Indies in a women’s ODI in St Kitts, setting a new record for the highest team total in Caribbean women’s ODIs with 341 runs from 49.5 overs. 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 was the standout performer for West Indies, scoring 42 off 21 balls and taking 1 for 39, earning Player of the Match honors. Kim Garth’s three wickets (3 for 37) dismantled the West Indies top order, while Australia’s recast XI—featuring debutant Tahlia Wilson—held firm after early losses. The win gave Australia a 1-0 series lead after they had already swept the T20 series, with the next ODI scheduled for Monday according to ABC or Sunday per the Guardian. Both sources agree on the historic score and Taylor’s century but differ on the match scheduling and minor batting details.
