The competition between the bat and ball has been fairly high and the series has seen even many records getting shatter as well.
The series decider between Australia Women and West Indies Women will take place on 5th October. With the way the series has panned out, it’s fair to say that it’ll be an enthralling final match of the seires.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led are placed fourth on the points table with ratings of over 260. The rankings go further with South Africa (fifth), West Indies (sixth), Sri Lanka (seventh) Pakistan (eighth).
