A slog sweep from Perry was dropped over the rope for the six winning runs in an end which was fitting of the West Indies’ horror series. Kim Garth and keeper Alyssa Healy appeal for the lbw wicket of West Indies star Hayley Matthews at the Junction Oval on Saturday.

The 27-year-old, who switched her national allegiance from Ireland last summer, said she had relished the opportunity to play consistently against the West Indies after she travelled with the Australian squad for the Ashes but was not picked for the limited overs games. The West Indies had reason to feel hard done by after a contentious decision where Stafanie Taylor hit a low return catch to Annabel Sutherland, which was deemed to be legal on review despite it not being obvious Sutherland’s fingers were under the ball.
