Australia's women's cricket team made history by posting a record women's one-day team total in the Caribbean, 341 from 49.5 overs, en route to a convincing 103-run victory over West Indies in the first of three one-day internationals.

The tourists' opener, Phoebe Litchfield, top-scored with 77, while five other teammates reached the 40s. This significant total was achieved on Saturday in St Kitts.

Following their sweep of the three-game T20 series, Australia continued their dominance by restricting West Indies to 238-8 from their 50 overs.

West Indies' Stafanie Taylor scored a breakthrough one-day century, 105 not out from 129 balls, but her efforts were not enough to secure a win for her team. Taylor's knock featured 10 fours and a six.

Australia's Georgia Wareham was named player of the match for her contributions with both bat and ball, scoring 42 from 21 balls and taking 1 for 39 from 10 overs. Additionally, Kim Garth took 3 for 37 from her 10 overs, removing the West Indies openers.

The Australian team underwent significant changes from their previous XI, with Tahlia Wilson making her one-day debut as wicketkeeper in place of Beth Mooney, who withdrew due to quad tightness. Wilson impressed with her sharp stumping of Aaliyah Allene off Garth.
