Australia won by 48 runs, bowling West Indies out for 143 with one ball to spare to win the series 2-1.
But that was not before Matthews launched her third successive mission to give Australia a mighty scare.A huge six over mid-on followed and the West Indies were 0-89 after 10 overs.
An historic first series win against Australia looked in reach until Mathews, who made an unbeaten 99 in the first game, finally slipped up. Earlier, Tahlia McGrath pummelled 11 fours and two sixes to all parts in her innings of 65 off just 34 balls as Australia made 9-190. Stafanie Taylor dropped McGrath over the boundary rope to take her to 50, but held on to a tougher chance soon after to halt the onslaught.
