The resistance shown to Australia‘s dominance by the West Indies in the T20 series evaporated in embarrassing fashion in the opening ODI as the home team annihilated their lacklustre opposition without superstar captain Hayley Matthews.
Australian opening bowler Kim Garth finished with the remarkable figures of 3-8 from less than six completed overs as the Windies were bowled out for just 83 at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, their lowest ODI total since 2017.
But for the visitors it was a horror showing without record-setting batting star Matthews who was ruled out of the game with a quad injury, losing two wickets before they’d scored a run off the bat. Without her influence there ended up being four ducks on her team’s batting card with Australian spinners Ash Gardner and Georgia Wareham among the wicket-takers.The total was easy pickings for Australia’s star-studded batting line-up with skipper Alyssa Healy helping her team to reel in the miserly total with back-to-back boundaries from Ellyse Perry who finished unbeaten on 20 off just 13 balls.
