The West Indies women are up against it, as they go hunting for a semi-final berth in the Women’s World T20.Today, the West Indies will be seeking a turn around after a close game against England ended in defeat earlier this week.
That defeat, means the West Indies have to win against India to give themselves six points, but this still does not guarantee a place in the last four.
The West Indies will also hope that the form table holds true in Group B, and hope for England to beat Pakistan in the other Group B game.
If that does not happen, the West Indies will find themselves in a three-way tie with Pakistan and England, net run rate then becoming the tie breaker.
While the West Indies won their first two games, against Pakistan and against Bangladesh, in both instances, the regional side’s bowling bailed out fairly ordinary batting, with skipper Stafanie Taylor, a picture of consistency, with two scores of 40 and 35 in the loss to England.
According to the skipper, if her team are to win against India tomorrow, that is the key.
“The bowlers, they have played so well, and I think we need to help out the bowlers by putting some runs on the board,” said Taylor.
