Led by leg-spinner Alana King`s fabulous spell of 4/8, Australia brushed aside Barbados by nine wickets in their second Group A match of Commonwealth Games 2022 at Edgbaston. After Barbados were bowled out for just 64 in 20 overs, Australia chased down the target in 8.1 overs with captain Meg Lanning hitting an unbeaten 36.
Electing to bowl first, Australia never allowed Barbados to ever get going in their batting innings. Openers Hayley Matthews made a 13-ball 18 while Deandra Dottin made just eight runs in 22 balls as Australia didn`t give her room to hit her shots. But the duo were dismissed within power-play as Barbados reached 37/2.
