Sri Lanka Women held their nerves to beat West Indies Women by one
wicket with two balls to spare. With the win, Sri Lanka have squared the
three match ODI series, with a match remaining. Chamani Seneviratna was
the star of the match with a quick 36 during the chase, following her
two wickets during West Indies' innings.
The chase was held together by Yasoda Mendis' gritty half-century - she
was part of partnerships of 33 for the second wicket, 39 for the third
wicket and 32 for the fourth. But with ten runs required with two
wickets remaining, it was left up to Seneviratna to make sure that she
finished the game.
West Indies had set a good foundation for their middle order as opener
Juliana Nero, who scored 45, led the team to 67 for 1. But Sri Lanka's
bowlers picked up regular wickets to reduce West Indies to 114 for 5. A
half-century by Shemaine Campbelle and her 61-run partnership with
Merissa Aguilleira lifted West Indies to 197.source-http://www.espncricinfo.com
