1st T20I: Mooney, King Shine As Australia Register 43-run Win Over West Indies
Opener Beth Mooney: Opener Beth Mooney struck a fluent 79 off 55 balls while Alana King picked up three wickets as Australia defeated the West Indies women’s cricket team by 43 runs in the first T20I of the three-match series played at the Arnos Vale Ground on Friday.
Coming to bat after winning the toss, Australia had a shaky start and were reduced to 34/2 inside the powerplay. Opener Georgia Voll fell early, followed by young star Phoebe Litchfield, leaving the visitors under pressure.
Mooney then showed her experience and anchored the innings along with Ellyse Perry, who scored 36. The pair added 99 runs for the third wicket, shifting gears after a cautious beginning. Australia collected quick runs in the second half of the innings, with Mooney bringing up her half-century off 42 balls.
