Australia Surge to 3-0 with King and Litchfield on Top
Australia's women cricketers are on fire! King and Litchfield led the charge with stellar performances, helping Aussies take a 3-0 lead.
Alana King claimed her second-best ODI bowling figures as Australia wrapped up their tour of the West Indies in style with a nine-wicket hammering to secure a 3-0 whitewash.
King's 5 for 19, sitting behind only her 7 for 18 against South Africa at last year's ODI World Cup, helped bundle out West Indies for just 136 in St Kitts. It came after the first two matches of the series saw her return 1 for 87 in 16 overs.
Australia raced to their target inside 20 overs as Phoebe Litchfield finished unbeaten on 68 from 56 balls to take the Player-of-the-Series honours.
Australia's dominance was evident, wrapping up the tour with 6 wins from 6 matches, including a 3-0 T20I sweep . West Indies' Hayley Matthews acknowledged the skill gap, but sees room for improvement.
