Earlier, after being asked to bat, West Indies got off to a worst possible start as they lost both openers Hayley Matthews and Kycia A Knight cheaply. Stafanie Taylor and Chedean Nation then stitched together an 87-run stand before Nashra Sandhu got rid of the latter for 35(68).

Deandra Dottin and Stafanie combined well as the former’s unbeaten 104 and skipper’s 90 off 107 balls propelled West Indies to 285/4 in their allotted 50 overs.
