Commentary

Australia sits on top of the table with this victory and their next game is against the Indian team, that's it from us today, I am Ovaise Shariff signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Rahul and Anirudh Modi.

So join us for the next game, Buh Bye!

Meg Lanning: It is about adjusting to the conditions and the breeze. We have got such depth. Anyone who comes in wants to contribute. Early wickets today helped. They have some clear plans with the ball. Rach and Moons did extremely well with the bat. Ideally, don't want us to lose early wickets. A 7 out of 10 for the batting display today. Unsure of what Auckland will have to offer. It would be a new venue and would be exciting to see.

Stafanie Taylor: Not the best batting display from us. As a group, we pride ourselves with the bat. We didn't assess the conditions that well. We reckoned anything over 250 would have been good. We spoke about the fact that 130 was well below par but we tried as a bowling unit. We still have three games left. We have to leave this behind us. Wish I had someone to build a nice partnership.

Time for the Presentation Ceremony.

Player of the match | Ellyse Perry: "It was really nice conditions today, the wind and the slopes are good factors here, it was good to put on such a performance from everyone today. Probably working on some consistency, around my shape with the new ball and hit the right lines. Ben puts up with me, I drag him out a lot more than he gets paid for. The more I bowl the better rhythm I tend to over, test matches feel good and they work for me. Its a bit more hard work for me. We have spoken about line and lengths as a group, it is different conditions, its a great ground with a lot of challenged but its important to get yourself in like Rach showed today."

Ovaise: West Indies opted to bat this morning after winning the toss, the start was delayed by some morning showers. The West Indian team found themselves in trouble early. Perry got the ball to nip, taking three wickets as she bowled eight overs on the trot. The spinners took over, tightening the run-scoring. Ash Gardner, Alana King and Jess Jonassen gave absolutely nothing away, while chipping away wickets. Gardner took three, Jonassen took two and King with one.

Only Stafanie Taylor offered a bit of resistance, he 50 came of 90 deliveries. West Indies were bundled out for just 131 as the tail-enders couldn’t contribute much. The pitch has something in it for the fast bowlers as well as the spinners.

One would have thought that Australia is going to finish this soon but that wasn’t the case, West Indies took early wickets, dismissing Healy and Lanning, Australia were 2 down with just 7 runs on the board after 3.2 overs. Perry joined Haynes in the middle and the two steadies things, Perry was seen playing a very slow knock and her struggle was ended in the 16^th over by Henry, Perry contributed with a slow 31 ball 10 but at that point Australia needed to rebuild and she played a valuable knock.

Australia were 58-3 when Mooney joined Haynes in the middle, these two were untroubled and stitched up a magnificent partnership to see Australia through to victory. Racheal Haynes got past her 50 in the 22^ndover. She ended with 84 of 95 ball and Beth Mooney on the other end gave her brilliant support and contributed with a solid 28 of 41 balls which included three boundaries.

Australia wins the game by 7 wickets and they sit on top of the points table with 8 points followed by South Africa. West Indies are on the 5^th position and will stay there after their defeat today.
