DERBY – Deandra Dottin’s second half-century in three innings proved futile as West Indies Women produced another haphazard run chase in a 20-run defeat to England Women, to slip to another Twenty20 International series defeat here yesterday.
Chasing England’s total of 154-6, the West Indies’ approach was again muddled and they crawled to 63 for two at the half-way stage and were restricted to 134-5 off their 20 overs at the County Ground.
The result gave England a 3-0 lead in the five-match cricket series with the fourth match carded for tomorrow at the same venue.
Dottin was the only bright spark amidst the gloom. She made an attacking 63 – including nine fours and a six – off 56 balls at the top of the order.
Dottin was the top-scorer in the first two games with 69 and 38 and now has 170 runs at an average of 56 to be the leading scorer in the series.
The 28-year-old Barbadian had earlier snatched two wickets in the first bowl since her return to the side. (CMC)
