Ellyse Perry\u2019s masterful 64 helped Australia secure a five-wicket warm-up win over ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 hosts England.<\/p>\n

In the second of two matches in Cardiff, the six-time champions chased down 158 with an impressive performance ahead of their opening game against South Africa on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Radha Yadav took three wickets in an over to help India to a 26-run victory over the West Indies.<\/p>\n

India spin to Windies win<\/b><\/p>\n

India is bidding to add the T20 crown to their ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup win last year, and on this evidence, it is shaping up nicely for Sunday\u2019s opening game against Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma made a fast start having been put into bat, with Mandhana departing for 39 from 23 balls inside the powerplay.<\/p>\n

Verma fell one over later for 29 with a strike rate of 223.07 and India were then reduced to 85 for three when Jemimah Rodrigues became the first of Afy Fletcher\u2019s four victims.<\/p>\n

The middle and lower order wobbled but Bharti Fulmali top scored with 56 not out from 40 balls to set the West Indies 180 to win.<\/p>\n

Without skipper Hayley Matthews, who was not in the team in Cardiff, the West Indies made a strong start but tailed off.<\/p>\n

Shemaine Campbelle retired out on 25 and Deandra Dottin was dismissed one run short of a half-century.<\/p>\n

The middle order struggled for consistency and their hopes of victory suffered a major dent when Yadav took three wickets in the 14th over, while Shreyanka Patil posted four for 36 as the Windies fell 26 runs short.<\/p>\n

Perry powers Australia to simple win<\/b><\/p>\n

After choosing to bowl, Australia decimated England\u2019s opening order with the returning Nat Sciver-Brunt departing for three runs to leave her side 19 for three in the fifth over.<\/p>\n

Alice Capsey and Heather Knight steadied England with the former making 45 off 36 before being dismissed lbw by Megan Schutt.<\/p>\n

Freya Kemp (41) and Danielle Gibson (27 not out) powered the hosts to a competitive total of 157 for six but Australia always looked comfortable in the chase and scored runs freely.<\/p>\n

Beth Mooney departed for 43 from 26, while Perry showed she is still an elite player to swiftly move Australia above the run-rate.<\/p>\n

The legend departed for 64 just before Australia completed its chase with 10 balls to spare.<\/p>\n
