West Indies Women started their home series against Sri Lankan Women in emphatic fashion, claiming an easy 88-run win in the first ODI, played at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on April 25, 2012, courtesy of an impressive five wicket haul from
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anisa-Mohammed-c44783.
Stafanie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Merissa-Ria-Aguilleira-c75634, all scored half centuries to propel the team to 228 before a fiery off-spin display from Anisa halted their opponents on a meagre 140 in 42.3 overs.
The hosts opted to bat first but were dealt a blow, following the early returning back of opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Juliana-Barbara-Nero-c69633, to the pavilion, owing to a run-out by Sandamali Dolawatte. Daley then joined Taylor to partner in an 78-run stand for the second-wicket, ensuring
that their side remained on top.
The latter departed after making 53, but Daley rallied on, getting support from the skipper, who herself showcased a flawless performance to score an almost run-a- ball 62, which included six scorching boundaries. Aguilleira’s blitz provided a timely push
in the final overs, which was further aided by a quick-fire 21 from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stacy-Ann-Camille-Ann-King-c90876.
The target of 229 was a reasonable one to chase, but the tourists were never in the hunt following poor shot-making by the batters.  They lost Inoka
Galagedara halfway through the third over off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shakera-Casandra-Selman-c89558, after which Prasadani Weerakkody was also sent packing by Tremayne Smartt.
Chamari Atapattu added a 25-run stand with skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hettimulla-Appuhamilage-Shashikala-Dedunu-Siriwardene-c63126, who partnered together for a 67-run stay to take the team score
to 95.
However, their dismissals in quick succession put the brakes on the scoring rate. Anisa first dismissed
Surangika (37), edged behind the stumps, before taking out the opposition’s captain. The lower order was largely ineffective against the spin trickery of the 23-year-old, who swept three of the last five wickets to halt the visitors on a lowly
140.
She will be looking to put in another dominant display when the her side take on the Lankan Women in the 2nd ODI, on April 27, 2012.
