Kar­ish­ma Ramharack spun cir­cles around Bangladesh Women’s bat­ters, and Hay­ley Matthews fi­nal­ly found her groove, as West In­dies Women jumped to the top of Group B in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup with a com­pre­hen­sive eight-wick­et win at the Shar­jah Crick­et Sta­di­um in Dubai, on Thurs­day.

Play­er-of-the-Match Ramharack grabbed four wick­ets for 17 runs, and Bangladesh’s strug­gles with the bat in the tour­na­ment con­tin­ued as they were re­strict­ed to 103 for eight from their 20 overs.

Matthews then hit a bound­ary-stud­ded 34 from 24 balls at the top of the or­der to pro­pel the Windies to 104 for two from just 12.5 overs.

The vic­to­ry sent the Windies to the top of Group B on 4 points from their three match­es, ahead of both South Africa and Eng­land on net run rate. Eng­land, how­ev­er, have a game in hand.

Af­ter los­ing the toss and be­ing sent in to bat, Bangladesh’s bat­ters nev­er gained any sus­tained mo­men­tum, and they scored around six runs an over for the ma­jor­i­ty of their in­nings.

Ramharack struck ear­ly when she had Shathi Rani smart­ly stumped by wick­et­keep­er She­maine Camp­belle for nine, be­fore re­turn­ing to hit Di­la­ra Ak­ter’s leg stump af­ter she missed a sweep shot to leave Bangladesh 33 for two at the end of six overs.

Sob­hana Mostary and cap­tain Niger Sul­tana came to­geth­er in a 40-run stand for the third wick­et, but they re­quired 42 balls to do so as West In­dies’ bar­rage of spin­ners kept them un­der wraps. —DUBAI, Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates (CMC)

With fatherhood came greater responsibility—and even greater love. The best part of having two girls is the constant love and kisses I get every single day.”
