Stafanie Taylor-led West Indies will look to record their third consecutive victory in the ongoing Women’s Cricket World Cup on Saturday when they will take on India at the Seddon Park, Hamilton. The West Indians started their WC campaign with a slim three runs win over New Zealand. In their next game, they sunk the reigning champions England by seven runs to further improve their credentials.
The Mithali Raj-led outfit, meanwhile, were humiliated by hosts New Zealand by 62 runs in their previous game. Batting first, New Zealand posted a respectable total of 260/9 in their quota of 50 overs, courtesy of the fifties from Amelia Kerr (50 runs off 64 balls) and Amy Satterthwaite (75 runs off 84 balls).
In reply, India managed 198/10 in 46.4 overs. India’s T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was the standout performer for Women in Blue. She smashed 71 runs off 63 balls with the help of six fours and two sixes.
The Asian giants won their first game against rivals Pakistan by 107 runs.
