West Indies women’s cricket team batted first in the first T20 International against Sri Lanka. But once his start got spoiled, he never got back on track. The effect of this was that neither the Caribbean team played the full 20 overs nor did they score even 50 runs on the score board. Sri Lankan bowlers destroyed West Indies’ batting badly.
Sri Lankan bowlers tightened their grip
Not a single West Indies batsman could touch double figures against the Sri Lankan bowlers. The most successful batsman of the team was Kayna Joseph, who scored 7 runs, so imagine what would have been the condition of the other batsmen. Captain Hayley Mathews also could not score more than 6 runs. The entire West Indies team was bowled out in just 13.3 overs in front of Sri Lanka’s devastating bowling.
Sri Lankan women’s cricket team tried 5 bowlers, out of which they managed to take 4 wickets. Kavisha Dilhari got 3 wickets. The remaining 3 bowlers took 2-2 wickets.
Why did West Indies not lose?
Now the question is, how did the West Indies team, which scored only 49 runs, avoid defeat? Sri Lankan women’s team came out to chase the target of 50 runs but only 7 runs were added to their score board in 2.5 overs when rain disrupted the match. The result was that the next match did not take place. Due to which it got cancelled. Due to the cancellation of the match, the danger of defeat looming over West Indies was also averted.
