played at the Galle International Stadium today on September 28.
With rain and a wet outfield to contend with, the match was initially delayed, and when it commenced, shortened to 17 overs per side.
The West Indies Women won the toss and elected to field first, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shanel-Francine-Daley-c89696 (2-0-5-1).
Mendis followed her back to the pavilion in the very next over, caught out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hettimulla-Appuhamilage-Shashikala-Dedunu-Siriwardene-c63126 (18*), both of whom joined forces for an 18-run
stand. However, their partnership came to an end in the 9th over, with the dismissal of Atapattu, who was trapped lbw by Shemaine Campbelle (1.3-0-8-1).
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Women at 50, when the match was interrupted once again by rain.
Once the rain eased up, the Sri Lanka Women’s innings were closed, and the West Indies Women were set a revised target of 48 off 8 overs. However, with Seneviratna (2-1-4-2) and Ranaweera (2-0-9-2) on the prowl, the team found themselves cut off at 42 by
the end of 8 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stacy-Ann-Camille-Ann-King-c90876 (12) remained the only batter who managed a double-digit score – the remainder of the batting order fell without putting up much of a fight, registering single-digit individual scores. In addition to suffering at the hands of the Sri Lankan
bowlers, the West Indies Women put up a shoddy display of running, with 3 batters – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Merissa-Ria-Aguilleira-c75634 (1) – dismissed via run out.
Faltering under the force of the bowling attack, the West Indies Women found themselves cut off at 42, granting the Sri Lanka Women a 5-run victory.
