\"2016Chennai:<\/strong> Skipper Stefanie Taylor and Hayley Matthews starred with both bat and ball as the West Indies brushed aside Bangladesh by 49 runs in a Group B match of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 in Chennai on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In a Group A match in Mohali, Sri Lanka defeated Ireland by 14 runs to record its first win in the tournament. Both teams had lost to New Zealand in their opening games.<\/p>\n

Taylor scored 40 and Matthews made 41, sharing an opening stand of 67, as the West Indies hit up 148 for four after electing to take first strike.<\/p>\n

Taylor then picked up three for 13, supported by two wickets each from Matthews and Deandra Dottin, as Bangladesh were shot out for 99. Nigar Sultana top-scored with 27.<\/p>\n

The West Indies climbed to the top of Group B with its second consecutive win, having defeated Pakistan by four runs in the first match.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh suffered its third successive loss in the tournament, knocking the South Asian nation out of the race for the semi-finals. It was Bangladesh’s 21st defeat in 23 T20 internationals.<\/p>\n

“We batted deep in the innings and it was nice of Hayley and me to get a good opening stand that helped us put up a decent total on the board,” said Taylor.<\/p>\n

“We still need to work on our fielding, it is not one of the best. But I am happy the way we bowled and put Bangladesh under pressure.”<\/p>\n

The West Indies next plays strong contender England in Dharamsala on Thursday, a match that could determine the winner of the group that also includes India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh captain Jahanara Alam was distraught after the defeat.<\/p>\n

“We all are very upset at losing three games in a row and I am very worried about our bowling and fielding standards,” she said. “I can’t understand what is going wrong. We are making too many mistakes.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully we will do better in our last game.” Bangladesh play Pakistan in New Delhi on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In Mohali, Sri Lanka scored 129 for seven after electing to bat and then restricted Ireland to 115 for eight with Sugandika Kumari claiming three wickets for 24 runs.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka was reduced to 59 for five by the 10th over when Eshani Lokusuriyage walked in to rescue her team with an unbeaten 35 off 28 balls.<\/p>\n

Ireland’s batters were tied down by steady Sri Lankan bowling, with only Cecilia Joyce (29), Isobel Joyce (24) and Laura Delany (29) getting among the runs.<\/p>\n

“It was a good win,” said Sri Lankan captain Chamari Atapattu, who scored a useful 34 at the top of the order.<\/p>\n

“I played my natural game. We had targeted a total of around 140 but could not get that. However it all worked out in the end.”<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka suffered a blow when leading all-rounder Shashikala Siriwardene, who did not play the match due to a hamstring injury, was ruled out of the rest of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Irish veteran Ciara Metcalfe, who took four wickets in Sri Lanka’s innings, said she was delighted with her own performance but was disappointed by the loss.<\/p>\n

“Look, I am obviously happy with the way I bowled, but the defeat has hurt us,” she said. “We thought we should have won today. But we will take it in our stride and continue to improve.”<\/p>\n
