BASSETERRE, St Kitts, (CMC) – Led by an impressive half century from opener Qiana Joseph and another destructive innings by power hitter Deandra Dottin, West Indies Women easily brushed aside Bangladesh Women by 106 runs in the second T20I here at Warner Park to wrap up the series with a game to spare.

Joseph lashed 63 from 36 balls, her second T20I half century, while Dottin barely missed out on her second consecutive T20I half century, as West Indies Women posted their second highest T20I total of 201 for six.
Cherry-Ann Fraser then snared two early wickets and Bangladesh was restricted to 101 for seven from their 20 overs and West Indies took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Bangladesh would have been hoping for a change of fortunes after winning the toss once again but choosing to field this time around.

However, they were made to instantly regret that decision after Joseph and her skipper Hayley Matthews launched an assault on their bowlers in the opening overs. Medium pacer Fariha Trisna was hit by Joseph for two boundaries in the first two balls of the day, and Joseph followed that up by smashing off-spinner Sultana Khatun for three successive boundaries in the next over.

Matthews joined in on the action, hammering Trisna for three more boundaries as West Indies rocketed to 34 without loss after three overs.
But right after hitting pacer Lata Mondal for two boundaries in the fifth over, Matthews was bowled by leg-spinner Rabeya Khan for 27 as she attempted a cut shot, to make the score 53 for one in the sixth over.
Fahima Khatun then breached the defence of Shemaine Campbelle to bowl her for 11 three overs later with the score on 70.
Dottin arrived at the crease and showed that she meant business, slog sweeping Khatun for three sixes in the same over.

Joseph, not to be outdone, then bludgeoned Trisna for two fours and two sixes in the 10th over, the last of which brought up her half century.

But after striking a few more boundaries, Joseph was stumped trying to hit Khan out of the ground, to end their 63-run partnership that required less than four overs.
She faced 36 balls and struck nine fours and two sixes.

Dottin continued her aggression, hitting leg-spinner Shorna Akter for two fours and a six off consecutive deliveries and looked set to complete her 15th T20I half century when she was caught at long-on for 49 trying to hit another six, to leave the West Indies 160 for four in the 15th over.
Shabika Gajnabi then hit an unbeaten 24 from 12 balls to bolster the team’s final total.

Fahima Khatun was the pick of Bangladesh’s bowlers with 3-38, while Rabeya Khan took 2-26.
Needing to score at over 10 runs an over, Bangladesh Women never mounted a serious challenge after losing three wickets inside the power play.

Fraser accounted for the wickets of both openers, Dilara Dola for eight and Sobhana Mostary for a four-ball duck and spinner Zaida James had Taj Nehar stumped for five, as the visitors slumped to 24 for three.

Sharmin Akter, who topscored with 22 and captain Nigar Sultana Joty tried to revive the innings in a 28-run partnership, but once Joty was bowled by Afy Fletcher for 10, the remainder of the Bangladesh batting crumbled as they lost six wickets for 41 runs.
Matthews, Fraser and Fletcher each took two wickets apiece.
