West Indies women whitewashed

West Indies Women cricket team suffered a series white-wash at the hands of Australia in the four-match One Day International in Australia last week.

It was an excruciating 148 runs defeat in the fourth and final ODI.

The defeat meant the West Indies Women finished the series winless on the heels of similar success in the preceding four-match T20 series.

A promising start by West Indies on the hunt to surpass a challenging 275 for five made by Australia, back-fired on the misfortune of a batting collapse at the Bradman Oval.

The Caribbean girls reached l04 for 2 in the 18th over before the collapse.

West Indies lost eight wickets for 23 runs and were scuttled out for 127 in 24.5 overs.
