8.42pm What an assault from Litchfield and Wareham! Australia post 212 for 6 after they were 7 for 2 and 38 for 2 after the powerplay. Incredible performance. Perry and Mooney started the rebuild with Perry scoring 70. But Litchfield ramped it up ten notches with the equal fastest women's T20I half-century and the fastest by an Australian off 18 balls. Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham were equally brilliant. West Indies over-rate penalty hurt them late. As did a stack of dropped catches again. They grassed Perry twice and missed several run out chances.

Sampath Bandarupalli: Australia scored 123 runs in the last eight overs of their innings. Only one team scored more in Women's T20Is between 13th and 20th overs - 124 runs by Bangladesh vs Maldives in 2019 (*in the games where we have data)

Mayank: "WOW!! What an Assault . What looked like a Good bowling effort by WI till 15th Over is absolutely thrashed by by these 2 Batters "

DaWolf: "88 runs off the last 5 over, at 17.6RPO. Incredible acceleration."
