Australia will go into the Women’s T20 World Cup in a positive frame of mind after Georgia Voll led a dominant win over West Indies in their final warm-up match in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

After defeating England earlier in the week<\/a>, Australia hammered West Indies by six wickets.<\/p>\n

Captain Sophie Molineux was satisfied with her team’s preparations, as seven of her eight bowlers helped themselves to a wicket in bowling out West Indies for 131.<\/p>\n

Aussies dominate England <\/a><\/p>\n

Australia cruises to a five-wicket victory over England in its penultimate Women’s T20 World Cup warm-up match in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Voll and the in-form Beth Mooney helped Australia make light work of the chase.<\/p>\n

Showing why she is the world’s top-ranked T20 batter, Voll was superb in making an unbeaten 77 off 48 balls, an inning featuring 10 fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n

Mooney made 34 off 18 balls before Australia decided to retire the opener to give a few other batters a chance.<\/p>\n

Molineux’s side looked sharp in all facets of the game as they seek to regain the world title they have won six times.<\/p>\n

“I felt like there were a few bits and pieces we wanted to tick off and we did today,” Molineux said.<\/p>\n

So I’m very pleased.”<\/p>\n

Molineux claimed the bowing figures of 1-19 from three overs.<\/p>\n

Ashleigh Gardner (2-17) and Lucy Hamilton (2-19) were the most productive of the Australian bowlers.<\/p>\n

The Women’s T20 World Cup begins in England on the weekend, with Australia facing South Africa in its first match at Old Trafford on Saturday night AEST.<\/p>\n
