Tahlia McGrath, stepping in as Australia’s captain in Alyssa Healy’s absence, won the toss and opted to bat first – a decision that proved spot on as Australia piled on the runs. The opening pair, Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll, put together a formidable 130-run partnership before Litchfield was dismissed for 60 in the 20th over, caught off Saima Thakur’s bowling.
With a solid foundation in place, Perry joined the well-set Voll to keep the runs flowing. The duo added 92 runs for the second wicket,during which Voll celebrated her maiden international century in just her second game.
