The opener shot 79 off 40 balls in a 47-run misfortune to Australia in Brisbane's series decider on Thursday night, having previously gathered an unbeaten 99 off 74 and 132 from 64 on Sunday and Monday. She turned into the principal player to score in excess of 300 stumbles into three ladies' T20I games as West Indies missed the mark regarding a first series win against the title holders. "I have to take a hard pass," the 25-year-old said when inquired as to whether she'd at any point been in better structure. "Having the option to score up 300 runs in a three-game T20 series is an extraordinary thing. I set targets descending here and I can perceive you it most certainly wasn't getting 300 runs in three T20s." The sides start a three-game ODI series in Brisbane on Sunday with Matthews confident a quadriceps niggle won't hold her back from driving a further developing group who, she knows, depend on her profoundly. The commander said she felt some snugness in Monday's subsequent game. She was pained by it again on Thursday and will have outputs to decide the seriousness of the injury.

"Some of the time, it very well may be unpleasant, yet as a pioneer they're things you need to put on your shoulders," she said. "Also, in the second game I was unable to dominate that match without what Stafanie [Taylor] did. How I've been batting here is simply attempting to play great cricket shots and that is my careful arrangement going into the 50-over series also. "Assuming that I get familiar I'll be content with that, yet there's certainly significantly less strain to rapidly score." West Indies have won once in 15 ODI gatherings against Australia, Matthews sure her unpracticed center request will admission better with less strain to score rapidly in the more extended design.
