by June 29th, 2017

The dismal form of the West Indies Cricketers continued this morning in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in England, after they crashed to a seven wicket loss to India.

Sent to bat the Caribbean women were wobbling at 113 for 6 after 38 overs before tail-enders Afy Fletcher and Shanel Daley rescued the west indies to post 183 for 8 off their allotted 50 overs.

Fletcher scored an unbeaten 36 and Daley added 33.

Opener Hayley Matthews was the top scorer for the ‘Windies with 43, and Captain Stafanie Taylor playing in her 100th ODI was run out for 16 while Anisa Mohammed was left unbeaten on 11.

Bowling for India Poonam Yadav, Deepti Sharma and Hermanpreet Kaur all took two wickets.

Player of the match Smriti Mandhana then smashed her second ODI century 106 from 108 balls, as India chasing 284 runs to win cruised to victory with 45 balls to spare, losing only three wickets in the process. Captain Mirhali Raj was left undefeated on 46.

Windies captain Stafanie Taylor was again left disappointed.

The West Indies women are without a point after two games following a loss to Australia in their opening game earlier this week.

In another game today Australia beat Sri-Lanka by eight wickets.
