West Indies Women go 1-0 up in CG Insurance T20 International Series

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua- West Indies Women ensured that Head Coach Courtney Walsh finished his maiden T20 International in charge of the team with a victory, defeating Pakistan Women by 10 runs in the CG Insurance T20 International Series at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.

Player of the Match Shamilia Connell told CWI Media that “It’s feels great. Coming off the last game I played in England I was man of the match also, so being able to start back my international series with a man of the match is a great feeling as well. My game plan was to just go out there and execute my areas hard and just try to contain as much as possible.”

Earlier in day, the West Indies Women A-Team and Pakistan Women A-Team played the first T20 match in the historic first ever West Indies Women’s A-Team home series. However, Pakistan Women A Team defeated the West Indies Women A-Team by 7 wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.

West Indies Women and A-Team Head Coach, Courtney Walsh was pleased despite the loss, telling CWI Media, “I thought it was a good game, obviously it was the first time they’re playing together as an A-Team and they showed some very good signs. The Pakistani experience with the players they had saw them home. But I was happy with the performance, there are a couple areas we need to tighten up on and have a discussion about, so it was good to see them out having a game. There are a lot of positives that came from it and we just have to get better for the next game.”
