Fri, Oct 25, '13

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – West Indies defeated England in a super over after scores were tied in the final preliminary match of the Women’s T20 International Tri-Series at Kensington Oval, on Thursday night.

Deandra Dottin blasted two fours in consecutive balls as West Indies scored nine without loss after England posted six for one wicket in the super over as a result of both teams scoring 118 for 7 in a thrilling precursor to Saturday’s final.

The match swung back and forth and transformed into a tense and nerve racking tussle as West Indies recovered from a poor start and England, who also faltered, crawled back into the game and well within sight of victory.

Stand-in captain Stafanie Taylor, the player of the match who top scored with 40, was also the leading wicket taker with three scalps, including two in consecutive balls, to extend the early damage already done by Anisa Mohammed.
