00:07mini-collapse from 49 without loss to 56 for 3.

00:48Sophie Devine had to defend a 6 from the final over, and the combo gave the strike to 20-year
00:55-old Jazara Claxton with one run needed.
00:58With the pair sprinting a bye from the penultimate ball to secure the win.
01:02Chasing 163, the West Indies reached their target with a ball to spare as Shemaine Campbell finished unbeaten on 90.
