All-Round Taylor Gives West Indies Women Second Win
A boisterous crowd cheered for the Bangladesh Women during its Group B match of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 2016 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday (March 20), but the West Indies Women eventually cantered to a comfortable 49-run win.
With its second win in as many matches, West Indies is perched at the top of the Group B standings, with four points and a healthy net run-rate of 1.325. Bangladesh was hampered by a lack of experience as it went down to its third consecutive defeat in the tournament.
West Indies, who opted to bat, rode on a gritty half-century opening stand between Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor, the captain, and late cameos from Deandra Dottin and Stacy Ann King to post a competitive 148 for 4.
