Having watched a heavy downpour end their chances of winning their One-Day International series against South Africa, the West Indies women are looking forward to the opportunity to level it on Saturday.

Due to a tropical wave which passed over Barbados Wednesday, bringing with it persistent rains, the second ODI at Kensington Oval ended in a no-result after umpires were forced to call off the game.

The home side, led by Deandra Dottin’s three-wicket haul, had put themselves in a good position after limiting the Proteas to 177 for eight, with the match having been reduced to 38 overs.

However, the Windies’ run chase never got going because of the rain. Dottin said while there was nothing they could do about the weather, they were eagerly looking forward to the game and to even the three-match series. (CMC)
