In a dominating performance at the WACA Ground in Perth, Australia's women's cricket team secured a massive victory against South Africa in a one-off Test match. The Australian quicks, battling through searing heat, managed to tear through the inexperienced South African side, setting the stage for a commanding Australian innings. Australia declared at 575, with King bowled for 8, Garth not out on 49, including three fifties and a double-hundred, marking the highest total in women's Tests. South Africa, trailing by over 400 runs into day three, faced a monumental task. Despite some resistance, including a fighting fifty from Delmi Tucker on debut and Chloe Tryon's stylish 61, South Africa could not overcome the deficit. Australia, needing just seven wickets on the final day, wrapped up the win by an innings and 284 runs, with Alyssa Healy's leadership being highlighted in the post-Meg Lanning era. The victory also follows Australia's success in the T20I and ODI series against South Africa.
