Earlier, on an overcast morning West Indies Women won the toss and opted to bat first. Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews started aggressively and didn’t allow England Women seamers to settle in. Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole were traveling all around the park. It needed Sophia Ecclestone, the World No.2 spinner to break this partnership of 81-runs from 20.1-overs. She first took Matthews for 45 off 58-balls, and then Dottin (31off 64 ) got out in the same over for a run-out and then in the fifth ball of the same over Stafanie Taylor gloved one to the keeper without opening her account. Ecclestone changed the match with her incredible spell. Dottin was the victim of a special effort by Wyatt. They were left stranded at 98/4 after being in a strong position at 81/0.
A very very special partnership of 123-runs for the fifth wicket between Shemaine Campbelle (66 off 80) and Chedean Nation (49 off 74 unbeaten) took them past the 200-mark. Campbelle got out to Natalie Sciver. They eventually ended on 225/6 at the end of 50-overs.
Sophia Ecclestone was at her best with her figures of 10-4-20-3. Natalie sciver picked a wicket and a couple of run-outs helped England Women to restrict their opponents. But England Women’s fielding was very very poor right from ball one, dropping five catches and missing a couple of run-outs which cost them in the end.
Chasing an average total of 226-runs to win, England Women started off steadily as Lauren Winfield-Hill and Tammy Beaumont put together 31-runs in 8.1-overs. Winfield-Hill was unlucky as she was the victim for a stunner of a catch at point by Deandra Dottin. Before this a couple of catches were put down by West Indies Women. Wickets fell at regular intervals one by one and were at one stage 94/5. Beaumont was the fifth batter to go but before she was out she held one end up with her 46-runs off 76-balls.
