Aussies counting gains despite imperfect win: Mooney
Australia's win in the opening T20I against the West Indies saw them get off to a slow start in the powerplay and drop six catches
After a mixed introduction to St Vincent that saw moments of brilliance matched with others Australia might rather forget, Beth Mooney says there is plenty to draw upon as they reset for Saturday's second game.
Mooney was the star of Australia's batting innings, hitting a 55-ball 79 as she appeared the only batter to find rhythm on the Arnos Vale Stadium surface.
In a curious innings that saw Australia struggling at 2-57 at the midway point of their innings, Mooney alongside Ellyse Perry flipped the switch dramatically following the drinks break, piling on 84 runs from the next seven overs.

Spin wizard’s magical spell creates World Cup dilemma as sloppy Aussies spill SIX catches
Alana King’s impressive return to the national T20 side has created a selection dilemma ahead of Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign in the United Kingdom.
On Friday morning AEDT, Australia secured a comprehensive 43-run victory in the first T20 against the West Indies in St Vincent, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Chasing a 165-run target for victory at Arnos Vale Ground, the hosts could only manage 6-121 after King muzzled the top order in a probing spell of 3-14 from four overs.
After removing rival captain Hayley Matthews for 11, the leg-spinner dismissed both wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle and veteran Deandra Dottin in a game-changing double-wicket maiden, restricting the West Indies to 4-76 after 13 overs — and the Caribbean side never recovered.
