ICC Women's World Cup 2022 | Haynes, bowlers anchor Australia to comprehensive win

Onecricket

Australia completed a comprehensive 7-wicket win against West Indies in the on-going ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 after chasing down a small target of 132 runs in the 31st over. 

The Australian side didn’t really have a great start to the chase as they were reduced to 7/2 but Rachael Haynes held the fort at one end and chipped in with a partnership of 51 runs for the third wicket with Ellyse Perry before the latter departed for 10 off 31. 

Haynes was then joined by Beth Mooney and the two batters made sure that there were no further fall of wickets as they took the team over the line. While Haynes remained unbeaten at 83 off 95, Mooney returned 28* off 42. 

Earlier, in the day, the Australian bowling unit rattled the West Indies batting line up after picking up wickets at regular intervals to leave them struggling at 85/6 before eventually getting bowled out for 131. 

Taylor top-scored with a 91-ball 50. Perry and Gardner scalped three wickets each for their side while Jonassen bagged two. 

“It is about adjusting to the conditions and the breeze. We have got such depth. Anyone who comes in wants to contribute. Early wickets today helped. They have some clear plans with the ball. Rach and Moons did extremely well with the bat. Ideally, don't want us to lose early wickets. A 7 out of 10 for the batting display today,” Lanning said after the match.
