Matthews impressed with Windies’ effort despite loss

Despite conceding their T20I series to Australia Women after suffering a 17-run defeat on Saturday, West Indies Women’s skipper Hayley Matthews said she was still pleased with the fightback shown by her side in the second match.

Australia got off to a speedy start, with openers Georgia Voll and Beth Mooney smashing 54 runs off the Powerplay, which put them in position to post a formidable total.

However, the home side was able to pull back the game at the death to limit them to 164 for five in their 20 overs.
