Australia's bats were hot as they put in a complete performance to defeat China 9-2 at the U15 World Cup overnight.

The 15 hits were spread evenly for the Australian offence, which included three doubles and three triples.

China scored the opening run of the ballgame in the top of the first, but from there the Australians flexed their muscle, piling on nine unanswered in a dominant display.

Victorian Charlie Collins made his two hits count, as he legged out a double and a triple while also claiming a pair of RBI. Nikau Pouaka-Grego and Quinn Johnson kept their solid tournaments going with two hits apiece, while Jaime Fox drove in a team-high three RBI.

Solomon Maguire worked hard during his four innings on the mound, but the NSW utility battled well, only giving up one earned run from four hits. Maguire was replaced by Parker Robinson, who picked up where Maguire left off, finishing the game strongly on the hill.

Australia's final game of the U15 World Cup takes place at 1am AEST on Sunday 19 August, with a win against Germany sealing 9th place at the World Cup.
