ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, Australia vs West Indies: 5 Talking Points

#3 The Windies collapse: Lose 7/47

Deandra Dottin

The Windies were romping on nicely being on a score of 157/3 in 37 overs. Stafanie Taylor and Deandra Dottin were batting beautifully as they had stitched together a partnership of 34 runs at run-a-ball. Dottin was the aggressor in the partnership having smashed 29 runs of just 19 deliveries. However, she perished to a superb delivery from Ellyse Perry that cleaned her up.

Once Dottin departed, the rest of the batting line-up crumbled like a pack of cards, losing 7 wickets for just 47 runs. Captain Stafanie Taylor kept watching the destruction from the other end as none of Aguilleira (1), Daley (6) or Mohammed (9) could provide her any support.

Taylor was ultimately dismissed by Jesse Jonassen in the 46th over of the innings for a fighting 45 (57). Afy Fletcher (3) and Shamilia Connell (1) fell soon after as the Windies were bowled out for 204 runs inside 47.5 overs.
