WI women warned against complacency
WEST INDIES women’s assistant coach Robert Samuels says his squad will be seeking to avoid complacency and seek improvement in all facets of the game when they tackle Pakistan in the second of their three-match ODI series today, at the National Stadium, in Karachi.Captain Stafanie Taylor’s squad registered a 45-run victory over their hosts after posting an imposing 253-run target in the first match.
Veteran opener Deandra Dottin carved out a splendid career-high 132 (off 146 balls, with 18 fours and two sixes) while Hayley Matthews, dropped lower down the order, produced a solid contribution of 57 to set up the winning platform. And Matthews also had an impact with the ball, her off-spin claiming three for 31 from 10 overs.
With Papa New Guinea withdrawing from the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers that follow this series, Samuels said the team must continue to strive for improvement.
“We cannot afford any mistakes,” said Samuels at a media conference yesterday. “...we are trying to eliminate complacency. We are also trying to better our performance or score the same amount of runs. We are looking to score 250-plus.
