Australia is preparing for the Women's T20 World Cup in England. This warm-up match against the West Indies was their final preparation before the tournament begins.
Georgia Voll led Australia to a dominant six-wicket victory over the West Indies in their final warm-up match for the Women's T20 World Cup in Cardiff.
After defeating England earlier in the week, Australia hammered West Indies by six wickets.
Captain Sophie Molineux was satisfied with her team's preparations, as seven of her eight bowlers helped themselves to a wicket in bowling out West Indies for 131.
Voll and the in-form Beth Mooney helped Australia make light work of the chase.
Showing why she is the world's top-ranked T20 batter, Voll was superb in making an unbeaten 77 off 48 balls, an inning featuring 10 fours and two sixes.
Mooney made 34 off 18 balls before Australia decided to retire the opener to give a few other batters a chance.
Molineux's side looked sharp in all facets of the game as they seek to regain the world title they have won six times.
"I felt like there were a few bits and pieces we wanted to tick off and we did today," Molineux said.
"So I'm very pleased."
Molineux claimed the bowing figures of 1-19 from three overs.
Ashleigh Gardner (2-17) and Lucy Hamilton (2-19) were the most productive of the Australian bowlers.
The Women's T20 World Cup begins in England on the weekend, with Australia facing South Africa in its first match at Old Trafford on Saturday night AEST.
