Dottin the I’s! From page 51
14.4 overs. Medium Pacer Deandra Dottin was just too good for Bangladesh’s middle and lower-order, as she ended with 5-5, her career-best, best by a Windies bowler and in the history of the tournament. Bangladesh might have hoped for an upset as they began the 107 chase, but that hope evaporated pretty soon. Their technique was found out and their temperament was non-existent. Not even a single batter reached double figures, some dismissals exposed the amount of work they need to do with their batting. Earlier, it was the batting that let the Windies down with only Kycia Knight’s 24-ball 32, and Stefanie Taylor who never got going during her 44-ball 28 that gave the hosts something to bowl at. Jahanara Alam, who finished with three wickets, was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers, but it was the spinners who dried up the scoring on a wicket predicted to be slow and low. After a first over which cost nine runs, including a six from Deandra Dottin off Alam, the visitors hit back hard with three wickets inside the powerplay overs. Alam claimed the wickets of Dottin and Hayley Matthews off consecutive balls at the start of the third over, before Salma
Khatun trapped Shemaine Campbelle lbw at 18-3. Things went further downhill for the defending champions with the dismissals of Natasha McLean and Britney Cooper, but Taylor and Knight added 37 for the sixth-wicket to prop the innings up. Rumana Ahmed (2-16) and a wicket for Khadija Tul Kubra, were the other successful bowlers. The pitch did deteriorate by the time Bangladesh batted in the second innings, and the run chase was not any ease. Apart from Dottin, the other Windies’ bowlers all kept a tight leash on the opposition, and shared the wickets around. This is the first standa l o n e Wo m e n ’s Wo r l d Twenty20 and the first global cricket event in the region since 2010. Guyana’s leg of the tournament continues tomorrow with India playing Pakistan at 11:00hrs and Australia takes on Ireland from 16:00hrs.
