West Indies Women vs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Women – 5th T20 – Windies claim series 3-1 after rain abandons fifth game
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 women clinched the 5-match series against Sri Lankan Women 3-1, after persistence rain during the fifth T20 ended the clash without any result being made possible, at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad, on May 9, 2012.
Only 18.2 overs were bowled, which saw the hosts reaching a disappointing 92 for 5 after they had opted to bat first. They started poorly and lost opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Deandra-Jalisa-Shakira-Dottin-c53408 started to accelerate the scoring rate.
Taylor was guilty of putting her side under pressure, consuming 39 balls for her 25. Her departure saw Dottin step up and doing bulk of the scoring. She alone went onto add 52 off 34 balls, which included 4 fours and 1 six.
Her partners were highly ineffective with no one climbing the single digit – the inform http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shanel-Francine-Daley-c89696 fell for 3, Shemaine Campbelle also offered little in terms of her previous showings ( scoring 1), while Merrissa Aguilleira, the skipper, was also sluggish – making 8 off 16 deliveries.
Despite such calamitous offerings, Dottin’s knock held the innings intact, allowing the team to collect runs. She remained not out when the rain arrived in the 19th over – forcing the play to stop.
The Lankans again put forth an impressive bowling effort. All remained economical, but the stand out remained http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hettimulla-Appuhamilage-Shashikala-Dedunu-Siriwardene-c63126, both of whom sharing the five wickets which fell.
The tourists however, failed to add to their maiden win which they registered in the previous match after the officials decided to call the players off – owing to heavy rain.
The outcome still had little bearing over the eventual winner. The Windies’ lifted the series after they had taken an unbeatable 3-0 lead – wining the opening three T20s convincingly. Earlier, the hosts also beat their opponents in a 3-match ODI series, emerging victorious by a 2-1 margin.
For the hosts, the highest-run scorer was Taylor, who amassed 110 runs, including a highest of 62. From the opposition – this accolade went to Rasangika, who scored 82 from her four innings.
