Australia 137 for 1 (Litchfield 68*, Perry 33*) beat West Indies 136 (Henry 42*, Matthews 34, King 5-19, Gardner 2-29) by nine wickets
West Indies lost all ten wickets for 98 having made a promising start in the powerplay after rejgging the batting order to promote Deandra Dottin alongside Matthews. But when Dottin edged Lucy Hamilton to slip, giving the left-arm quick her maiden ODI wicket, the wheels came off.
King was the fifth bowler used by Tahlia McGrath, who was again standing in for new captain Sophie Molineux, and started by claiming the key wicket of Matthews who cut loosely to cover. Two balls later Jannillea Glasgow was well taken by a diving Georgia Wareham at point in what was a much-improved catching display from Australia.
The chase was over in quick time with Georgia Voll the only batter to fall, picking out deep midwicket having added 50 for the first wicket with Litchfield.
Litchfield pulled out her full array of shots including a powerful switch hit and a superb reverse sweep over the off side to leave her as comfortably the leading run-scorer in the series.
Next on the agenda for both teams is the T20 World Cup in England from mid-June. Australia are due to play three additional T20s against South Africa ahead of the tournament while West Indies will be part of a tri-series in Ireland alongside the hosts and Pakistan to prepare.
