Women one win from title

The bowlers then combined to dismantle the Windies, with Ellyse Perry taking 2-2 from two overs, sending danger pair Shemaine Campbelle (7) and Deandra Dottin (6) packing.

The end result was a 71-run whitewash.

Healy played after recovering from the concussion she received just six days earlier. She was wearing glasses on the field for the first time.

“I’ve had glasses for the last six months now (but I) haven’t worn them on the cricket field,” she said.

“The way my gloves have been going of late, I thought, ‘Why not, can’t get any worse’.

“I thought I’d take them out there. And they worked a treat. You might see me in them again.”

Healy said she was lucky she had suffered only minor symptoms from her collision with fast bowler Megan Schutt that stopped her from batting in the final pool game.

“I simply had a sore neck from the whiplash after hitting Schutt’s shoulder,” she said.

“I think personally I did all the right things as well to give my mind a break and let it refresh and replenish and go today.”

There was a collective intake of breath when West Indies batter Britney Cooper skied the ball, but Healy let everyone know it was hers this time and the ball fell safely into her gloves.

“I’m never too confident under that high ball, but, look, glasses, new woman,” Healy said.

“Everyone steered clear and let me have my space and fortunately it stayed in.”
