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 the first women’s ODI of a three-match series in St Kitts, setting a Caribbean record with 341 runs from 49.5 overs. Phoebe Litchfield led the charge with 77, while Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry anchored a strong top order, with five other batsmen reaching 40 or more. West Indies collapsed to 238-8, with Georgia Wareham’s aggressive 42 off 21 balls earning her player of the match honors alongside her 1 for 39. Stafanie Taylor’s first ODI century since 2021 (105 not out) nearly ended in disaster when a run-out attempt failed, but her 10 fours and six kept her on course. The match featured a recast Australian team, with Tahlia Wilson impressing on her ODI debut as wicketkeeper, while Beth Mooney’s injury forced her replacement. Australia now lead the series 1-0 after sweeping the preceding T20 series, with the second ODI scheduled for Monday according to ABC or Sunday per the Guardian. Both sources agree on the record-breaking total and Taylor’s century, though scheduling and batting details vary slightly.
