2.03pm: Australia take the series 2-0 comfortably after chasing down a small target of 104 in under 16 overs. Healy and Litchfield got off to a brisk start putting on fifty stand and Mooney and Perry completed the formalities. West Indies completely outclassed in the ODIs, so much rests on the shoulders of Hayley Matthews. Big task ahead for her and Shane Deitz in this format. But they'll always have memories of that chase at North Sydney Oval.
Hypocaust: "That was Australia women's fourth biggest win in terms of balls remaining in the 50 over era of ODI cricket. The 211 ball victory in the 1st ODI was their third biggest."
2.15pm Time for the presentation...
Kim Garth is player of the match and series: "Been really nice to get an opportunity...very excited to get a go then it was about doing what I do best. To be able to execute plans was really pleasing. Trying to implement a few things and be really disciplined with the ball. We saw some really good partnership bowling, to reflect off the back of the Ashes and put in a few things we spoke about."
Hayley Matthews "We knew it was definitely going to be a series we wanted to learn from. There's still a lot of positives we can take. [On her injury] I had a small grade one tear but all good now."
Alyssa Healy "It was a good result, and a really enjoyable series, a lot of positives we can take into the rest of the summer. The depth we've got will be very important, we've got two multiformat series back-to-back. Everyone is looking forward to WBBL and playing against each other."
That just about wraps things up for this series. The attention of the women's game in Australia now switches to the WBBL which begins next Thursday. For now, from Gnasher and Srinidhi, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
