Wintry weather was no obstacle this time as Australia’s bowlers again obliterated the West Indies with an eight-wicket win to seal a 2-0 ODI series victory in Melbourne on Saturday.
Play closely mirrored Thursday’s abandoned game as the tourists were sent in again and skittled for 103, but an injury scare in the warm-up did not go to script as Ash Gardner was sent for an X-ray on her thumb.
Their over-reliance on captain Hayley Matthews was again exposed after the opener departed in the 20s following a quick start for the second consecutive game. Kim Garth trapped Matthews lbw in an impressive two-wicket display with the new ball, with the dynamic right-hander burning a review in desperation after being caught plumb in front.
