Time for the presentation:

Lanning: Very good performance overall. Our bowlers did a great job up front. Very clinical from Bolton and Mooney to take the sting out of the chase. They took some time early and Mooney pushed the accelerator towards the end.

We don't see ourselves as defending champions, we're just here to win the World Cup like everyone else and the pressure can take care of itself.

Taylor: The platform from the top order was pretty good but the middle order did not bat as well as we wanted. For the bowlers, we need to stick to the game plan and we have four games to go. Our batters need to take this as an example to get better.

Bolton is the Player of the Match: I thought our bowlers did an amazing job to limit a quality side to 200. That's the work our bowlers did and we (openers) could give ourselves time at the top, would have been great if Mooney was there till the end. It's a great place to bat here.

That's all from us from this fourth match which was rather one-sided. Do join us tomorrow for England v Pakistan and we can promise you full coverage, and some entertainment, as usual. Be good..Ciao!

4.30pm Handshakes all around on the field and high fives in the dressing room for Australia for starting the tournament with a thumping win. Bolton takes her helmet off to show a beaming smile and she's greeted with a hug from Lanning first, then Villani and many other team-mates. A clinical win, like Australia do many times - they bowled stifling lines and lengths, the spinners took wickets to not let the partnerships flourish and 205 was hardly going to be steep task for their batting line-up. West Indies have a lot of work to do. Apart from batting, their fielding was very poor and they will have to come up with much better showing in the coming matches to turn things around.
