West Indies Women lost a
three-match One-Day International
(ODI) cricket series
against the Indian Women
after the visitors clinched the
third and deciding encounter
with a dominant batting
performance at the Sir Vivian
Richards Stadium in Antigua
on Wednesday, Nov. 6.
A powerful century partnership
for the first wicket
helped India to surpass West
Indies score of 194 all out in
50 overs to secure the series
after both teams entered
the decider with one victory
apiece.
A half century from Captain
Stafanie Taylor pushed
the West Indies to a defendable
total as the homeside
struggled to recover from a
shaky start, having won the
toss and electing to bat.
Not a single run was scored
in the first two overs as Jhulan
Goswami and Shikha
Pandey pinned down opening
batters Hayley Matthews and
Natasha McLean with pace.
But Hayley, playing her
first game in the series, eventually
launched an attack
on the Indian pacers hitting
three fours and a six on her
way to 26.
However, her run out signaled
a turning point in the
game for the Caribbean side
as their run rate dropped.
Kyshona Knight and Stafanie
Taylor picked up quick
singles to steady the innings
in a partnership that yielded
34 runs until Knight was
caught for 16 attempting a
sweep.
Taylor, voted player of the
series, led the revival with a
top score of 79 and featured
in a crucial 96 run stand with
Stacy-Ann King who added
38 before she was bowled.
The rest of the West Indies
Women’s batters fell for single
digits.
A 141 run opening partnership
dictated the Indian run
chase with Smriti Mandhana
scoring 74 and Jemimah Rodrigues
69.
India stumbled slightly at
one stage with four wickets
falling in a few overs by then
they were already on course
to victory by six wickets in
42.1 overs, finishing on 195
for 6.
The Indian women’s tour of
the Caribbean now shifts to a
five-match Twenty20 International
series with the first
two scheduled for the Daren
Sammy Stadium in St. Lucia
this weekend.
