Windies stun Australia
Print Edition
OPENERS Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor figured in a record partnership yesterday to help the West Indies defeat Australia by eight wickets and clinch their maiden title at the women’s World Twenty20.
Matthews struck 66 off 45 balls with six fours and three sixes and Taylor 59 off 57 with eight fours in a clinical chase that saw them finish on 149-2 in 19.3 overs in reply to Australia’s 148-5 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, India. The pair added 120 runs, a record for any wicket for the West Indies. It was the first win in nine games for the West Indies against Australia, which was looking for a fourth straight title. Earlier, captain Meg Lanning and opener Elyse Villani struck 52 runs each to propel Australia to a fighting total.
