Australia produced a complete performance in Cardiff, restricting England to 157\/6 before comfortably chasing down the target with 10 balls remaining. Garth played a key role with the new ball, helping dismantle England\u2019s top order alongside veteran seamer Megan Schutt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The right-arm pacer, who returned figures of 1-19 from three overs, expressed her satisfaction at contributing to a strong bowling effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Really pleasing to get out there with (Schutt) and taking the ball with her was really cool,\" Garth said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia\u2019s new-ball pair immediately put England under pressure, removing key batters early and forcing the hosts into recovery mode. While England rebuilt through Alice Capsey, Freya Kemp and Danielle Gibson, Australia\u2019s bowlers maintained control throughout the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For Garth, the outing was also an important step forward personally after a stop-start lead-up to the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I felt a bit rusty last week, against South Africa, and then there was a bit of rain around, so nice to get out there again and bowling in a partnership with 'Shooter' is always good fun,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The seamer acknowledged the confidence she has gained from recent opportunities in Australian colours and stressed the importance of trusting her preparation heading into a major tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's really pleasing to get out there. Every time you play for Australia it's very special, but I think I've taken a lot of confidence. It's just about backing your skills in and all the work that you've done over (recent) months and then using these practice games to trial what you've been working on,\" Garth stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia\u2019s success was built on contributions across the squad. After the bowlers set up the contest, Beth Mooney\u2019s brisk 43 and Ellyse Perry\u2019s composed 64 anchored the chase, ensuring there were no late complications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The six-time champions will now face the West Indies in their final warm-up fixture before beginning their quest for a record seventh T20 World Cup title later this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
