Litchfield continued her blistering form with the bat, cracking 36 in the dying overs and combining with Annabel Sutherland for a 49-run partnership.
The Australians were once again plagued by misfields and inaccurate bowling, with Healy putting down a tough chance off Brown’s bowling in the fourth over, gifting Matthews an early life on 11.
