00:01Sri Lanka put West Indies into bat in the third and final T20 in St. George's,
00:06with the ladies in maroon hoping to level the series.
00:10Skipper Haley Matthews was caught and bowled by Sugandika Kumari for 8.
00:15Then Inoka Ranaweera joined the wicket-taking party and it was 22 for 2.
00:23Make that 28 for 3 as Kumari picked up her second wicket,
00:26that of debutant Ebony Brathwaite cheaply.
00:32But Deandra Doughton joined Stefani Taylor and the two rebuilt the innings.
00:39Their partnership was worth 48 runs for the fourth wicket.
00:49Doughton was out for 28, giving Ranaweera two scalps in the match.
00:57Then Taylor departed for a sedate 24 which contained one boundary.
01:03A lot then depended on Chanel Henry to give the home team something to work with.
01:12Henry topscored with a belligerent 32 knot out of 15 balls as West Indies closed on a modest 119 for
01:195.
