Windies Women seek series win on Sunday

The West Indies Women suffered a 96-run defeat in the third One Day International (ODI) to South Africa at the Imperial Wanderers Stadium.

With South Africa’s recent win in the third ODI, they have now levelled the series at 1-1 after the first match was abandoned due to rain.

At the end of the match, West Indies Women's vice-captain Anisa Mohammed admitted that the team’s performance was highly impacted by the loss of their two batters.

“I think South Africa scored 40-50 runs more than we expected, then we lost Taylor and Nation which I think was a crucial part of the game us.”

“If we had those two batters, we probably would have gotten closer to the score or win the game. But we have a lot of game-changers on our team and we're hoping that on Sunday we will be able to come out and play our best cricket."

Chedean Nation took a tumble during their fielding innings and was unable to return to bat while the then captain Stafanie Taylor was ruled out from the remainder of the match after being medically assessed as concussed.

Mohamed elaborated on the areas the team will be working on heading into the fourth and final match with the series win on the line.

“Definitely our fielding, I think this was one of the worst days we had in quite a while. So we definitely need to tighten up in our fielding, and I think our bowlers need to bowl in better areas you know especially when batters are coming so hard at us.”

“We have a couple days (until the next match) so we're going to reassess what happened. It’s part of our preparation heading into the world cup so we’re trying to tick all boxes and head into the world cup with our confidence high.”
