ST. JOHN’S, Antigua– England Women took and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the CG United One Day International series against the West Indies Women, winning the second match by 142 runs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

West Indies Women’s head coach Courtney Walsh was disappointed by the performance, telling CWI Media,

“In both games we haven’t batted well. We were a lot better with the ball in this game on a good batting track and for the score where we had them at 260, I thought we would have batted better. We lost those early wickets and just never recovered. The batters can take a lot from Rashada’s performance, I am pleased with how she went about it and showed that it can be done. We have a lot at stake with one game remaining and we need to get championship points. Our momentum is good but performance and execution, we have to try and get better.”

The teams meet again on Friday December 9 at the same venue for the 3rdd CG United ODI in a Day/Night encounter. First ball is at 2:00pm Eastern Caribbean/1:00pm Jamaica time.
