Amidst the excitement of IPL 2026, the action of international cricket also continues, where the T20 and ODI series played between the women's teams of West Indies and Australia ended with a one-sided result. This entire series played in West Indies was in the name of Australia, where after the T20 series, the visiting team made a clean sweep in the ODI series also.
In the last ODI, Australia defeated host West Indies by 9 wickets and thus made a 6-0 clean sweep of the entire tour. The star of the last match was leg spinner Alana King, who took 5 wickets for just 19 runs. However, she still could not break her own record.This magic of Elana King's spin was seen in the third and last ODI match played on April 2 at Warner Park, St. Kitts. West Indies batted first in this match but the entire team collapsed for only 136 runs in 35.4 overs.
This is what King did to West Indies. This experienced spinner spent only 19 runs in his 10 over spell. In this too, the West Indies batsmen could not score even a single run on 44 of their 60 balls. Along with such economical bowling, Elana King also took 5 wickets, including the big wicket of captain Hayley Mathews.This is the third time in Elana King's ODI career, when she has taken 5 wickets in an innings. However, despite such a brilliant performance, Elana, who had played 53 matches for Australia, could not break her own record. This is the record of most wickets in an innings.
The record for best bowling in an innings for Australia is in the name of Elana King, who gave only 18 runs in 10 overs in a match and took 7 wickets. He did this feat against South Africa in the World Cup last year. However, this is the second best performance of his career. Apart from this, he once took 5 wickets for 42 runs against England.As far as the match is concerned, Australia achieved this target in 19.4 overs by losing only 1 wicket. Opener Phoebe Litchfield once again batted explosively for the team and scored unbeaten 68 runs in 56 balls.
This was his second half-century in this series. He scored 77 runs in the first match and 46 runs in the second ODI. It was for this performance that he was chosen Player of the Series. Apart from Lichfield, in this match, Georgia Wall scored 23 runs and Alice Perry scored 33 runs to lead the team to victory.
