Summary

Well, that’s all from this ODI series – I was expecting to be keeping you all company until a fair bit later into the night, but it looks like we all get a cricket early mark. Use it wisely – go outside and take in the last of the light (or the first of it if you’re in a different part of the world!) It hasn’t been the most closely contested series, but perhaps T20 might provide a bit more of an equaliser – Australia continue to be so dominant in the ODI format, but the proliferation of T20 leagues around the world has given more players the opportunity to play in that format more often.

The first T20 will be played on 31 March from 5pm AEDT, so that’s a nice way to spend your Easter Sunday evening, especially if you’re lucky enough to have the public holiday Monday off.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s match, as short as it was, and I look forward to keeping you company for a cricket game again very soon!

Alyssa Healy collects the trophy for the ODI series and speaks glowingly about the series so far.

“It’s been fantastic to come over here and get to play against a side we don’t play against very often outside of World Cups,” she says.

She acknowledges that they still have some areas to work on, but is happy with her team’s performance across the ODI series.
