West Indies\u2019 win, its second of the Super Six stage, also ensured that it will join Australia in the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup final on 17 February if it beats Jodie Fields\u2019 side in its final Super Six match in Mumbai on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

However, if the West Indies lose, then it will come down to net run rate between them and the winner of the match between New Zealand and defending champion England.  West Indies faces Australia at the MIG Ground on 13 February at 0900 Indian time, while New Zealand plays England in a day\/night fixture at the Cricket Club of India beginning at 1430 on the same day.
 
After being put into bat first by New Zealand skipper Suzie Bates, West Indies lost opener Natasha McLean early – leg-before wicket to Sian Ruck. Coming in at number three, Stafanie Taylor was at her belligerent best and stroked seven boundaries in her 53-ball 49 which made her the highest scorer of the event \u2013 briefly. Later in the day Bates regained that honour in New Zealand\u2019s innings.
 
Despite Taylor\u2019s heroics, she found little support from the other end and wickets fell at regular intervals. Deandra Dottin tried to take the attack to the New Zealand bowlers as she hammered a 21-ball 27 with four fours and a six. However when she was sixth out the West Indies had managed only 117 in the 27th over.
 
West Indies slipped further to 159 for eight in the 44th over but Shanel Daley contributed 37 off 64 balls and Anisa Mohammed swung merrily to finish with an unbeaten 31 off 32 balls. The pair added 45 for the ninth wicket in just over six overs wickets to give West Indies a respectable total.
 
West Indies opening bowler Tremayne Smartt used her in-swingers to good effect to snare three top-order New Zealand wickets. Katie Perkins and Bates tried to consolidate before Perkins was run out by a brilliant throw from Dottin and when Taylor snared Nicola Browne leg before and Mohammed out-foxed Bates for a caught and bowled in the next over, New Zealand was in serious trouble at 83-6.
 
Rachel Priest (36) tried to hold the lower-order together but her resistance ended when she was last out as the West Indies sealed a superb win. Anisa Mohammed followed up her batting heroics with 1-13 off 8.3 overs to be awarded Player of the Match. Taylor also bowled well finishing with 2-26 off her 10 overs.
 
West Indies skipper Merissa Aguillera was effusive in her praise for the team. \u201cIt was a great match. I have to give credit to everyone in the team. They executed all areas of the game well and need to be complemented for that.\u201d
 
Aguillera felt that when they got past 200, they could defend it. \u201cOnce we had 200 runs, we believed we could defend it. We have a good line-up of spinners \u2013 Stephanie Taylor, Shanel Daley and Anisa Mohammed. We knew we had a good score on the board the bowlers did their job perfectly to take us home.
 
\u201cIt was pleasing to see the other players stepped up when it mattered. Anisa Mohammed deserves a special mention. While batting, she did exactly what the team needed. We had a target in mind and we achieved it. I am really pleased with the all-round effort,\u201d said Aguillera.
 
New Zealand skipper Bates was bitterly disappointed, but felt that the West Indies total was within reach on the CCI wicket. \u201cI think on this wicket, if you have wickets in hand, even 250 could be chaseable. If we had got one big partnership, we would have got home easily But we kept losing wickets too close to each other and once that happened, the turned the pressure on us.\u201d
 
Bates felt that the batters let the team down. \u201cI am disappointed that today none of the top five stepped out and in the end it was left to Rachael Priest and it was too much for her to do alone. We haven\u2019t batted anywhere near where we are capable of batting.  If we are to go forward and win the tournament, it is important that the batters fire.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
