Galle, Sri Lanka - West Indies opened their account at the ICC Women’s World T20 with an emphatic seven-wicket win over a formidable New Zealand side in a Group B encounter at the Galle International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Chasing 118, West Indies was in trouble at 5-2 in two overs, with Tremayne Smartt and Shanel Daley both dismissed for “ducks”. It took the calm influence of Stafanie Taylor to steady the innings and bring some direction and purpose to the chase.
