Parallel Worlds,opposite result

Hunter bowled with lot of control as she repeatedly swung the ball both ways and Caribbean women didnt have any clue. A target of 116 in womens cricket is pretty competitive and West Indies were never in hunt having lost the first four wickets for less than 30 runs on board.

Opener Juliana Nero 31 and Shanel Daley 25 though tried their best with a 48-run partnership for the fifth wicket but they were not able to get going and the asking rate kept creeping up only to make things even more difficult. Credit should also be given to Lisa Sthalekar for her all-round performance. After scoring 23 with the bat,she opened the bowling alongside Perry to keep the Windies under tight leash. Her four overs cost only six runs and the pressure started from there itself.

Earlier,Sthalekar and Alex Blackwell,who scored 21 were responsible for the Aussie women reaching a respectable total. Brief scores: Australia: 115 for 7 in 20 overs Lisa Sthalekar 23; Shaquana Quintyne 2/23,Shanel Daley 2/23. West Indies: 87 all out in 19.2 overs Juliana Nero 31; Julie Hunter 5/22,Ellyse Perry 2/19.
