Australia hold West Indies to 125-7 in World Cup semi-final

SPORTS 30.06.2026

Australia restricted the West Indies to 125-7 in their Women's World Cup semi-final at the Oval on Tuesday.

Text size:

West Indies captain Hayley Matthews top-scored with 30 but her side were derailed by a collapse that saw four wickets lost for 12 runs in 17 balls as they tamely slumped to 59-4 after being sent in to bat.

West Indies suffered a setback shortly before the match started when Deandra Dottin appeared to faint while the teams were lining-up for the national anthems and had to be helped from the field.

By the time experienced batter Dottin came in, the West Indies were 83-6 in the 15th over. But her quickfire 26 not out did help them get a total beyond 100 and give her side a glimmer of hope against six-time champions Australia.

Off-spinner Ashleigh Gardner, who struck twice in an over, led the attack with 2-13.
