WI-W vs NZ-W, 2nd T20I
Preview
West Indies Women will clash against the New Zealand Women for the second time in the three-match T20I series which is a part of New Zealand Women’s Tour of West Indies. Both the teams will battle in the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua on October 1.
West Indies in the first encounter with the white ferns clinched a narrow one-run win in a thrilling low-scoring encounter. Aaliyah Alleyne’s 49 off 37 balls was the most scored runs from the home team while batting first. New Zealand’s bowling side is pretty strong as Amelia Kerr took three scalps assisted by skipper Sophie Devine and Fran Jonas who picked two each to restrict WI-W to 115, losing all wickets. But all went in vain as New Zealand Women failed to chase the target because of extremely good performance from the West Indies bowlers. Chinelle Henry picked three along with Afy Fletcher taking two. The rest of the three bowlers also took a scalp each to win by a narrow margin of just 1 run.
