Chasing down a target of 221, West Indies required a couple of decent knocks to get them close to the finishing line. Three West Indies top-order batswomen in Hayley Matthews, Kycia Knight and Chedean Nation got into double figures, but none of them went on to score big.

Poor judgement of a run got rid of Knight as she was caught short of the crease at the keeper’s end. 19-year-old Matthews battled her way to 29 from 64 balls, but Hartley pinned her in front of the stumps to send her packing.

Throughout the tournament, Nation has thrown her wicket away after getting promising starts. Today was no different as she perished in the quest for quick runs after scoring 23 from 57 balls.
