Weak batting, rain undermine West Indies Women

Sun, May 24, '15

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (CMC) — West Indies Women were once again let down by weak batting as they slumped to a five-run defeat to Sri Lanka Women under the Duckworth/Lewis method, in a rain-affected affair here yesterday.

Defending a paltry 110, West Indies allowed the hosts to get away to a healthy start, and found themselves behind on Duckworth/Lewis when rain ended the contest prematurely in the 16th over at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Sri Lanka Women lost Yasoda Mendis without scoring in the second over but rebounded to be 52 for one in the eighth over, thanks to a 46-run stand between Dilani Surangika and captain Chamari Jayangani.
