West Indies secure a third consecutive victory in Group 2 as their bowlers restrict Sri Lanka and Stafanie Taylor steadies a tense chase. In Bristol, West Indies’ spinners dominate the Sri Lankan innings, “strangling” the batters and taking regular wickets to prevent a sustained total. Sri Lanka still manages to keep fighting through the middle overs, plugging gaps and adding wickets despite the pressure.
With the target set at 99, West Indies initially face moments of uncertainty during the chase. Taylor then provides control and composure, ensuring the chase does not slip away. The team eventually reaches the target and wins by five wickets, completing the “three-in-three” run in the group.
The win lifts West Indies to joint-top of Group 2 level with England on points, with standings separated only by net run rate. The match is reported across multiple outlets, with the emphasis on West Indies’ bowling impact and Taylor’s role in finishing a nervy chase.
