WEST Indies Women will face old rivals Sri Lanka Women in their second match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers, where they would be seeking the vital two points up for grabs.

The contest will take place at the Harare Sports Club today. First ball is at 09:30hrs local time (03:30hrs Eastern Caribbean time/02:30hrs Jamaica time). It will be the second match for the West Indies following their comfortable win by six wickets over Ireland in their opening match.

Vice-captain, Anisa Mohammed is confident the team can maintain their good form and make it two-for-two in this event. Speaking ahead of the encounter the experienced off-spinner said, “It’s very important that we win tomorrow’s game and try to go into the next stage with four points. There is a lot of rain around and should it come in the next stage, we have four points.”

The points earned from every win in the group stage will only carry over into the Super 6s if the team you defeat also progress to the Super 6s. Mohammed insisted there’s no pressure in the clash with Sri Lanka, as the West Indies are coming off a good streak, with their recent 3-0 clean sweep in Pakistan.

“I think we’ve been playing a lot of good cricket all around so it’s just a matter of coming out and doing the basics for a long period and hopefully coming out victorious and going into the next stage of this tournament.”

Mohammed is counting on the batters to continue their good run of form, which has taken the pressure off the bowlers. Deandra Dottin was magnificent in the first match with a well-compiled half-century at the top of the order, which earned her the Player-of-the-Match award.

“As a bowler, we are really happy to see the batters coming up and scoring runs. It takes away some of the pressure (of) having to defend small totals, so it’s really good that they’re performing. We’re really excited and hopefully tomorrow they can continue getting big scores.”
