West Indies 276 v Ireland 63 - West Indies Women won by 213 runs
West Indies handed a staggering defeat of 213 runs to rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 Krira Shikkha Protisthan No 3 Ground, Savar.
The match the highest score by a team batting first as after winning the toss Ireland made a mistake of asking West Indies women to bat who punished the Irish by playing exuberantly in front of a crowd which had gathered to see some good cricket but had
no idea that they were in for a treat as they saw the West Indies openers Stafanie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Juliana-Barbara-Nero-c69633 pulverised the Irish bowlers and dominating them right from the word go.
For Ireland it was imperative to grab wickets as soon as possible to halt the West Indian batting onslaught, however, the fielding side seemed inadequately prepared as they were ripped peace by peace by the two West Indian batswomen.
West Indies opening duo was a nice combination of experience and youth as the 32-year-old Nero tagged splendidly well along with her young 20-year-old batting partner Taylor. And where the team needed experience to get them out of a hot situation they also
had the expertise of raw young talent to take a belligerent risk.
The duo was obviously too much for the fielding side as the bowlers were completely left without ideas and were completely left on the mercy of the batting duo.
West Indies opener amassed 204 runs in the opening streak by batting beautifully for the sake of giving their team a real chance to winning the game.
It was then in the 38th over when Nero was run out on 100 runs. With Nero out of the way, Ireland took a sigh of relief, however, the damage had already been done and it was probably too late to Ireland bowlers to salvage the match.
Later in the 47th over Taylor also found her way back to the pavilion after clobbering a sensational knock of 107 runs.
In the end, West Indies amassed 276 runs on the board, giving their opponents a daunting target to overcome.
Coming out to bat Ireland had a difficult task ahead of them and needed a strong partnership from the batting brigade to even come closer to the required target, however, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 bowling was just too hot to handle as the Irish batting line-up was
incinerated in just 30.1 overs with only 63 runs on the board.
From the Windies pacer Pearl Etienne took three while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stacy-Ann-Camille-Ann-King-c90876 grabbed two wickets each.
JB Nero was named as the Player of the Match of her stupendous performance with the bat.
