Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand- Poor fielding and bowling costed the WINDIES Women the 2nd T20 International against New Zealand White Ferns by 106 runs, a far-cry from the close contest of the first match.

Captain Stafanie Taylor won the toss and elected to bowl first in cool conditions as it gets progressively colder during the night in Tauranga.

Hayley Matthews dropped Sophie Devine the very first ball of the match. However, White Ferns Captain Suzie Bates was the first to go for 14 when Connell lit up her bails. New Zealand 33/1.

Devine was then joined by player of the match from the first game Katey Martin, with Martin accelerating almost immediately.

Akira Peters bowled a brilliant over, scalping the wicket of Devine and giving away only 2 runs.

Then came the partnership that set New Zealand for victory. Martin was joined by the in-form Amy Satterthwaite and the pair posted a New Zealand White Ferns T20 record of a 124-run partnership.

The bowlers found it difficult as they strayed from their line and lengths, thereby giving the White Ferns batters width and time to play their shots.
