Australia have sealed the three-match women’s ODI series against West Indies 2-0, extending one of the most impressive winning streaks in women’s cricket and arriving in strong shape ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England and Wales this June.

Second ODI: Mooney Holds the Innings Together

After winning the toss and choosing to bat at Warner Park, St Kitts, Australia’s middle order was tested by some disciplined West Indies spin bowling. Beth Mooney, the experienced left-hander, came through when it mattered most — scoring 65 off 104 balls to anchor the innings and help Australia to a competitive 269/7 from their 50 overs. Stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath also contributed 24 runs at No. 6, while Georgia Wareham added a valuable 39 lower down.

West Indies made a decent start in reply, reaching 82/4 by the 16th over before their innings completely fell apart. Australia’s spin pair dismantled the lower order — Georgia Wareham took 3/29 and Ash Gardner returned 3/34 — as the hosts lost eight wickets for just 36 runs and were bowled out for 179, handing Australia a 90-run victory.

Wareham picked up her second Player of the Match award of the series for another complete all-round contribution.

McGrath Speaks After Series Win

“We got really challenged by the West Indian spinners today as they knew how to play that wicket and we got really challenged in that middle patch. Moons (Mooney) batted really well, and then with the wickets in hand, we were able to launch to 270, which we were pretty happy with.”

“We’re just never satisfied. We are always looking to push those ceilings, always looking to be better. There is still plenty of work to go, still plenty of areas from that game to improve on, but really happy to take the series win.”

First ODI Was Even More Dominant

The second ODI came on the back of an even bigger performance in the series opener. Australia posted a record 341 — the highest women’s ODI total ever scored in the Caribbean — driven by Phoebe Litchfield’s 77 at the top, with Nat Carey (49), Sophie Molineux (49) and Ellyse Perry (44) all contributing significantly. West Indies legend Stafanie Taylor’s unbeaten 105 — a brilliant century — could not prevent a 103-run loss for the home side.

15 Straight ODI Wins Over West Indies

The two victories extend Australia’s unbeaten run against West Indies in completed ODIs to 15 matches. The streak goes all the way back to the 2013 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final in Mumbai, where Australia beat the Caribbean side by 114 runs to lift the trophy. In the 13 years since, West Indies have not managed a single ODI win over Australia.

Eye on the T20 World Cup

The ODI series in the Caribbean is part of Australia’s preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, which begins in England and Wales on June 12. Australia are placed in Group 1 alongside India, South Africa and two qualifiers — with their first match of the tournament against South Africa at Old Trafford on June 13.

The third and final ODI against West Indies takes place on April 1 in St Kitts, with Australia already having secured the series.
