Ashleigh Gardner to Jahzara Claxton, out Caught by Sophie Molineux!! Gone for a third ball duck. A lot of experts in the Windies believe Claxton will be a future superstar but she hasn't lived up to that expectation in this tournament. Was there a need to be aggressive against one of Australia's finest? She came dancing dowm the wicket, got too close to the pitch of the full delivery and chipped the lofty drive tamely to the Aussie skipper at extra cover. West Indies falling apart? Jahzara Claxton c Sophie Molineux b Ashleigh Gardner 0(3)

Ashleigh Gardner to Stafanie Taylor, out Caught by Kim Garth!! An embarrasing smile from Ash Gardner. That was absolute soda pop and the Aussie all-rounder could not have asked for a easier route of exit against one of the Windies legends.
