COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (CMC) -- West Indies Women suffered a six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka Women in the second One-Day International (ODI) of a four-match series at the R Premadasa Stadium here yesterday.

The Windies women crumbled under spin attack to be all out for 124 in 42.3 overs, leaving the Sri Lankans to recover from a poor start before cruising to victory in 39.2 overs.

Stafanie Taylor played a brilliant innings to resurrect her side, but was unlucky, while captain Merissa Aguilleira ran out of partners.

Shashikala Siriwardene with an outstanding all-round performance and spin partner Maduri Samuddika wrecked the Windies innings, as both players took six wickets between them.

Taylor fell seven runs shy of a half-century while leading efforts at rebuilding an innings which slipped to 75 for two after the visitors chose to bat first.

Alright ladies, get it together now.

West Indies Women have now gone ahead in the series with a D/L affected game . Batting first the West Indies Women got to a score of 215/3 in their allotted 50 overs . The opening pair of K.A.Knight and HK Mathews got to 49 before the partnership was broken with , Mathews being bowled for 22. Kinght went on to 34 before she was stumped . Captain Aguilleria with a duck was only other wicket to fall as D. Dottin 69* and S. Taylor 86* carried the team to a competitive 215.

...and the failing fired-then-reinstated captain continues to fail with the bat....its a good thing when you have people in high places who fight for your play...smh

I have to agree somewhat , in the game before this she made 13 not out while many faltered around her , she is the wicket-keeper and Captain but the 18 average needs some improvement
