In a decisive second ODI match held in St Kitts on March 28, 2026, Australia Women triumphed over West Indies Women by 90 runs, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. Beth Mooney emerged as the standout performer for Australia, scoring 65 runs off 104 balls, contributing significantly to the team’s total.

Australia set a competitive total after being put to bat first, with their innings concluding at 269 runs. The West Indies struggled in their chase, ultimately being bowled out for 179 runs in 46 overs. This performance by the West Indies marked a stark contrast to their efforts in the first ODI, where they managed to score 238 runs.

Georgia Wareham and Ash Gardner were instrumental in dismantling the West Indies batting lineup, each claiming three wickets. Wareham recorded impressive figures of 3 wickets for 29 runs, while Gardner followed closely with 3 wickets for 34 runs. Their combined efforts ensured that the West Indies could not build any significant partnerships.

In the opening ODI of the series, Australia had set a record women’s one-day team total of 341 runs, with Phoebe Litchfield scoring 77 runs and Stafanie Taylor making a notable 105 not out for the West Indies. This strong performance by Australia in the first match laid the groundwork for their current dominance in the series.

Australia’s bowling attack has proven to be a formidable challenge for the West Indies, with Kim Garth also contributing significantly in the first ODI by taking 3 wickets for 37 runs. The West Indies have struggled to adapt to the pressure exerted by the Australian bowlers, which has been evident in both ODIs.

As the series progresses, the final ODI is set to take place on Friday (AEDT), where Australia will look to complete a clean sweep against the West Indies. Observers are keen to see if the West Indies can regroup and put forth a stronger performance to avoid a series whitewash.

Australia’s recent success follows a sweep of the three-match Twenty20 series against the West Indies, further establishing their dominance in women’s cricket. The outcome of the final ODI will be closely watched, as it could set the tone for future encounters between these two teams.
