The series continues with matches at Melbourne's Junction Oval next Thursday and Saturday. Pace bowler Darcie Brown left the field with a hamstring injury after bowling three overs.
Healy did not turn to spin until the 17th over, but Ashleigh Gardner (2-17 off 5) and Georgia Wareham (2-30 off 5) supported their quicks well. The visitors took 4.2 overs to get their first runs off the bat and the first boundary did not come until the ninth over.Ī fourth-wicket stand of 24 was the highest of the innings, with Alleyne (35) supplying the only sustained resistance, striking seven of her team's 11 fours. 8 over cricket score sheet Alternatively, select to auto upload when a connection is available post-match.
Kim Garth (3-8 off 5.3 overs) struck twice in her first two over and Meghan Schutt (1-6 off 5) also picked up an early wicket as West Indies slumped to 3-5 in the seventh over. It proved a good toss for Healy to win, as her opening bowlers exploited seaming and swinging conditions. Matthews, who scored more than 300 runs in the three-match T20 series between the two teams, missed Sunday's match with a quad injury. It was an 18th ODI win from as many matches for Australian at the Brisbane venue. Healy, who took four boundaries off an over from Aaliyah Alleyne, also starred in the field with a run out, slick stumping and two catches.
