Litchfield did not go home empty-handed, however.<\/p>\n
The opener\u2019s knock, which included eight fours and a six, lifted her tally for the three-game series to 191 runs at 95.50. <\/p>\n
She also led the way with 77 in the series opener.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old was awarded player of the series as a result in a positive sign for the Australians going forward in the post-Alyssa Healy era.<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoy opening the batting with Georgia Voll. I think we got the best of the conditions at the top of the order,\u201d Litchfield said.<\/p>\n

Australia also delivered a clean sweep of the T20 series that preceded the ODIs.<\/p>\n
Going home with a 6-0 scoreline and a host of strong performances will no doubt fill the group with confidence ahead of June and July\u2019s T20 World Cup in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
\u201cA really clinical way to finish the season. Kingy outstanding with the ball and Pheebs unbelievable with the bat,\u201d McGrath said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe pride ourselves on our fielding and I thought today we took some really good catches and were really clean. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat was awesome today. It\u2019s been an awesome tour and we leave here very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alana King and Phoebe Litchfield starred as Australia capped off their dominant tour of the Caribbean with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[101175,31021,64,285050,63,689,56263,91930,285049,16686,740,1950,22250,47934,2057,33830,158185,284808,285051,101170,70385,11471,78308,3583,677,47936,285048,285047,38710,124539,274954,1124,85,18752,46745,3586,87670],"class_list":["post-581869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-alana-king","tag-alyssa-healy","tag-au","tag-aussie-spin-queen","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-team","tag-batting-line-up","tag-commanding-nine-wicket","tag-contract-calls","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-news","tag-dominant-tour","tag-ellyse-perry","tag-europe","tag-five-wicket-haul","tag-hayley-matthews","tag-hero-lights","tag-indian-collapse","tag-leg-spinner","tag-match-honours","tag-match-report","tag-nicola-carey","tag-northern-europe","tag-oceania","tag-phoebe-litchfield","tag-rapid-knock-clinches","tag-sam-gosling","tag-series-opener","tag-series-triumph","tag-series-v","tag-south-australia","tag-sports","tag-st-kitts","tag-tahlia-mcgrath","tag-united-kingdom","tag-young-star"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
