Overview
- Australia beat West Indies by 17 runs in the second T20I in Kingstown to take an unassailable 2-0 lead with one game left.
- Alana King claimed 2-25 and the player-of-the-match award after 3-14 in the opener, removing Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor in key middle-overs strikes.
- Georgia Voll (39 off 23) and Ellyse Perry (42 off 28) set up Australia’s 164/5, while West Indies replied with 147/4 as Matthews top-scored with 56 and Deandra Dottin finished 39 not out.
- King’s form reopens Australia’s legspin debate with Georgia Wareham, who took 1-16, as captain Sophie Molineux manages back soreness and has not bowled.
- Ashleigh Gardner was ruled out pre-game with hamstring tightness, and the tour continues with one T20 and three ODIs before selection for the World Cup in England.
