Erin Osborne kept Australia in the hunt with a defiant 19 but ran out of partners at the other end and then finally departed when she was caught behind trying to scoop left arm bowler Shanel Daley who secured three for 22. Earlier, the five-time champions bundled out their opponents cheaply after the latter chose to bat first on winning the toss. Barring the hard-hitting Leandra Dottin who made a breezy 60 of 67 balls with a six and 10 fours, had no answer to combat the skills of the Australian medium-paced attack. The Caribbean women folded up in 47 overs at the small ground where they made a record 368 for 8 in the preliminary league game against Sri Lanka. Apart from Dottin, three other players � opener Natasha Mclean (26 in 34 balls with 4 fours) and tail-enders Shaquana Quintayne (15 in 48 balls) and Tremayne Smartt (10) - reached double digits. Chasing the none-too-difficult target, Australia were in some early trouble when Meg Lanning and Haynes were sent back by Shane Daley before the 12th over. Cameron and Blackwell batted well to restore stability to the innings. Though the former was bowled playing across to Shaquana Quintayne after hitting 5 fours in her 60-ball essay and Sthalekar was run out by a direct hit from mid-wicket, they appeared to be only minor handicaps in Australia�s pursuit of their fifth successive win the six-team second stage. But the West Indies had other ideas and completed a glorious and all-important win by fielding brilliantly throughout and effecting three run-outs too at crucial stages. Apart from Daley, Stefanie Taylor picked up two wickets while Tremayne Smartt and Shaquana Quintayne got one each.
