Shermaine Campbelle scored 56 and offspinner Anisa Mohammed took two for 28 though it was not enough to prevent West Indies Women from going down to Sri Lanka by just one wicket in a thrilling second ODI at the Windward Cricket Club yesterday. Campbelle topscored as the home team reached a total of 197 for nine batting first. Other contributions came from Juliano Nero (45) and Shanel Daley (24) while Shashikala Siriwardena (3-27) and Sripali Weerakkody (2-36) were the top bowlers for the visitors. Sri Lanka's run chase was set up by Yashodha Mendis (51) and Chamani Seneviratne (36 n.o.) but the loss of regular wickets kept West Indies in the hunt. With two runs needed off the last three balls with one wicket in hand, Seneviratne hit Stacy Anne King for a boundary to level the series at 1-1.
