The Australian women’s team have clinched an ODI series clean sweep against West Indies with a resounding nine-wicket win in Basseterre, St Kitts.<\/p>\n
Set a paltry 137 for victory at Warner Park, Australia lost only one wicket in completing its successful run chase inside 20 overs.<\/p>\n
An unbeaten 87-run partnership between Phoebe Litchfield (68 not out) and Ellyse Perry (33 not out) guided the tourists home.<\/p>\n
Opener Georgia Voll was the only batter dismissed, out for 23.<\/p>\n
Earlier, spinner Alana King did the damage with the ball by claiming the figures of 5-19.<\/p>\n
King was named player of the match.<\/p>\n
West Indies was all out for 136 from 35.4 overs after captain Hayley Matthews won the toss and chose to bat first.<\/p>\n
Matthews was one of King’s dismissals, making 34 before she was caught by Voll.<\/p>\n
The West Indies skipper and fellow opener Deandra Dottin made a promising start for the hosts, reaching 0-38 in the sixth over.<\/p>\n
But Dottin departed for 22, caught Litchfield from the bowling of Lucy Hamilton.<\/p>\n
West Indies proceeded to lose its next four wickets with the addition of just 40 runs and failed to recover from the batting collapse.<\/p>\n
Aside from King, Ashleigh Gardner was the only other multiple wicket-taker for Australia, returning the figures of 2-29 from 7.4 overs.<\/p>\n
Australia won all six white-ball matches in West Indies, having earlier posted a 3-0 result in the T20 series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Australian women’s team have clinched an ODI series clean sweep against West Indies with a resounding nine-wicket…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[5844,101175,64,63,740,280921,588,85,18752,285149,1212,285148],"class_list":{"0":"post-582036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-abc-sport","9":"tag-alana-king","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-cricket","13":"tag-game-three","14":"tag-sport","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-st-kitts","17":"tag-warner-park","18":"tag-west-indies","19":"tag-womens-odi"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582036","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=582036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
