Coming to the West Indies-England clash, WI won the toss and fielded first. Nat Sciver-Brunt’s half-century, a steady 57* in 50 balls with five fours and skipper Heather Knight’s 21 in 13 balls with three boundaries before getting retired hurt were the highlights as they put a total of 141/7 on the board. Afy Fletcher (3/21) and Hayley Matthews (2/35) were the top bowlers for WI. In the run-chase, an opening stand of 102 runs between skipper Matthews (50 in 38 balls, with seven fours and a six) and Qiana Joseph (52 in 36 balls, with six fours and two sixes) helped WI secure a six-wicket win with two overs left. Joseph was given the ‘Player of the Match’ award.
