Diamonds complete clean sweep over Jamaica

The Origin Diamonds vs Jamaica series saw the world No.1 side face world No.3 Jamaica for the first time since the 2023 World Cup, and their first standalone series against the Sunshine Girls since 2011.

Across three matches, the Diamonds controlled proceedings with composure and consistency, building leads early and sustaining pressure to secure the clean sweep.

Vixens were front and centre throughout the series. Kiera Austin earned Player of the Match honours in Adelaide, while Diamonds vice-captain Kate Moloney celebrated her 50th international cap.
