Voll stars as Aussies hammer Windies in final T20 World Cup warm-up

Australia enters the Women's T20 World Cup with strong momentum after a commanding six-wicket victory against the West Indies in their final warm-up match in Cardiff. This win follows their earlier triumph over England, showcasing the team's readiness for the tournament.

Georgia Voll was the star, crafting an unbeaten 77 off 48 balls, including 10 fours and two sixes. Her performance, combined with Beth Mooney's quickfire 34 off 18 balls, made light work of the chase after Australia had restricted the West Indies to 131. Captain Sophie Molineux expressed satisfaction with the team's preparations, noting that seven of her eight bowlers contributed to bowling out the opposition.

"I felt like there were a few bits and pieces we wanted to tick off and we did today," Molineux stated. "So I'm very pleased." Molineux herself took 1-19 from three overs, while Ashleigh Gardner and Lucy Hamilton were the most successful bowlers with two wickets each.

The Women's T20 World Cup commences in England this weekend. Australia's opening match is scheduled against South Africa at Old Trafford on Saturday night AEST. The team, having won the world title six times previously, appears sharp in all facets of the game as they aim to reclaim the championship.
