It was such a quick throw that Dottin couldn’t complete the single and found herself short of the crease to get dismissed on 46 runs off 38 balls at a strike rate of 121.05, shouldering on six boundaries. That shifted the entire momentum towards Australia, who didn’t let their opposition make a return into the game.

West Indies didn’t make a good start in the game as they found themselves struggling at 53/3 in the eighth over of the innings. Their most dependable player, captain Hayley Matthews, returned for 15 runs off 19 balls. The only glue was Dottin, who played a decent knock with the bat. But once she was dismissed, it fell like a pack of cards.

From being at 109/4 in 15.5 overs, the Caribbean side lost their last six wickets for just 22 runs in the last 25 balls and were finally bundled out for 131, which was never going to be enough against a strong side like Australia.
