The west indies women vs australia women ODI series concluded in dominant fashion as Australia Women secured a convincing nine-wicket victory in the third and final ODI. The match, played in Basseterre on April 2 during the Australia Women tour of West Indies 2026, saw the visitors complete a clean sweep of the series with another commanding performance.
Australia’s leg-spinner Alana King delivered the standout performance of the match, claiming a superb five-wicket haul that dismantled the West Indies batting lineup. After restricting the hosts to a modest total, Australia comfortably chased down the target with more than 30 overs remaining, underlining their superiority throughout the series.
West Indies Women Start Strong but Collapse Mid-Innings
After winning the toss and electing to bat first, West Indies Women began the match positively. The opening pair laid a solid platform, helping the team reach 49/1 during the Powerplay. However, the momentum quickly shifted in Australia’s favor as wickets began to fall at regular intervals.
The turning point came when Alana King entered the attack and started troubling the West Indies middle order with her accurate leg-spin. Within a short span, the hosts slipped from a promising position to 78/5 by the 19th over, putting immense pressure on the lower-order batters.
Despite the collapse, Chinelle Henry displayed resilience with an unbeaten knock of 42 runs. She found brief support from Realeanna Grimmond, with the pair putting together a 37-run partnership that temporarily steadied the innings.
Grimmond’s dismissal in the 27th over triggered another slide, and the West Indies lower order struggled to offer resistance. Eventually, the team was bowled out for 136 runs in 35.4 overs, leaving Australia with a modest target to chase.
Australia Women’s Bowlers Dominate
Australia’s bowling attack maintained tight control throughout the innings, with King leading the charge. Her exceptional spell of 5 wickets for just 19 runs proved decisive in restricting the West Indies to a below-par score.
