“Early pressure didn’t stop West Indies from taking control when it mattered most”
West Indies Women secured a comfortable five-wicket win over Sri Lanka Women in their T20 World Cup clash at Bristol.
Sri Lanka Women struggled throughout their innings after losing early wickets and failing to build partnerships. The West Indies bowlers kept tight control, restricting them to a low total of 98 all out in 19.4 overs.
In reply, West Indies Women also faced early pressure after losing a few wickets during the chase. However, the middle order steadied the innings with a calm and controlled approach. Stafanie Taylor played a key role in guiding the team closer to the target.
West Indies eventually reached 99/5 in 16.1 overs, completing the chase with 23 balls remaining.
With this win, West Indies continue their strong form in the tournament, while Sri Lanka are left under pressure after another disappointing batting performance. The result also highlights West Indies’ ability to stay composed in low-scoring games and finish chases without panic.
