Commentary

That is all we have from this contest as my colleague, Rudransh Khurrana and I, Lavil Saldanha take your leave. Do check Sportskeeda for the latest in the world of sports. Until next time, SEE YA!
Hayley Matthews (captain, West Indies): We spoke about being clinical and getting them to hit where we wanted them to. She is one of the more experience bowlers heading into the tournament. She is having a knee problem and they are having a look at it, she is a fighter and is trying to stay in the park and fight it out. She saw the situation dring the drinks break and decided to walk. She is a crucial part of our line and doctors and physios wouldn't have allowed her to field in the middle. I am doing the role (laughs). We have got the last game of the group and we will have to win. If you want to win World Cups, you will have to beat the best in the competition
Nigar Sultana (captain, Bangladesh): We had a good start in the middle overs we played many dots and gave away wickets. Their bowlers bowled well and didn't give us much room to play shots. We missed out on singles as well. We can take a lot of learnings, we have a very young side and work on our batting intent. The bowlers have done their jobs but we need to be better as a batting unit. We want to play good cricket and end the tournament on a high. It is just a game and we want to play as a team and contribute as a unit. It was amazing support, so many fans came and cheered for us and it motivated us. We want to win and finish it on a high for them
Karishma Ramharack is the Player of the match for her 4/17, here's what she has to say: Great to always contribute to the team's win. Glad I could do that today. It was quite slow, you had to vary the pace. We knew we had a couple of batters who could hit the ball long so we discussed that we had to just stay patient at the start. Of course (we feel confident), with the way the girls went about the chase. Good to seem some of them back among the runs. I am very happy to contribute. I wasn't as effective as I wanted to be at the start of the tournament, happy to have found my form.
10:11 PM IST, 8:41 PM Local Time - West Indies beat Bangladesh by eight wickets with 43 balls to spare

West Indies: 104/2 after 12.5 overs

Hayley Matthews: 34(22b) | Stefanie Taylor: 27(29b)
Marufa Akter: 1/20 (3 overs) | Nahida Akter: 1/22 (3 overs)

West Indies win this contest quite comfortably. They did light work of the chase in the last game and continued to do that today as well with a similar target on board. The qualification for West Indies into the semi-final strengthens and for Bangladesh, their hopes of qualifying could take a hit.

Hayley Matthews and Stefanie Taylor started slowly before Hayley Matthews teed off and never looked back. She and Taylor stitched a 52-run partnership before Matthews was dismissed after a short on-field break. Stefanie Taylor walked off the field and Shemaine Campbelle played a fine knock too before Dottin came out and hit two big hits to end the game off in some style.

Bangladesh will be disappointed with the bowling efforts on this track. Marufa and Nahida Akter could only manage a wicket each with the rest of the bowlers going for runs in their spells. Bangladesh will also have to work on their ground fielding and ensure they take the catches that come their way.

Let us now go down to hear what the Player of the Match has to say
12.5 Rabeya Khan to Deandra Dottin, SIX! Now she gets it out! And that one was for the WIN! West Indies take a big eight-wicket win. Floated on middle and off, Dottin waits and waits, almost crouching for it and then goes deep down to smash it over the cow corner!
12.4 Rabeya Khan to Deandra Dottin, floated wide, she tries an other slog sweep but misses
The first six of the match and of the West Indies innings. West Indies now only another one away from sealing their win here
12.3 Rabeya Khan to Deandra Dottin, SIX! MASSIVE! The first of the innings and from who else? Comes down the ground, sits on one knee and muscles it over deep mid-wicket. 80 metres on that!
12.2 Rabeya Khan to Chinelle Henry, floated on off, pushed to cover point for one
12.1 Rabeya Khan to Deandra Dottin, short and slapped to long-off for one
Rabeya Khan (2-0-12-0) comes back into the attack and will be bowling to Deandra Dottin on strike
West Indies now only a few big hits away from getting their second win of the tournament. They have aced this chase, thanks to a good start from Hayley Matthews and then a good job in the middle from Shemaine Campbelle and Stefanie Taylor

11.6 Nahida Akter to Chinelle Henry, comes a bit down the ground and outside edges it to point. Sent back by Dottin.
11.5 Nahida Akter to Deandra Dottin, dabbed to mid-wicket for a quick single
11.4 Nahida Akter to Deandra Dottin, FOUR! Oh that's just class. Floated wide outside off, she goes reverse and almost slig-shots it with superb timing through point and backward point along the ground
11.3 Nahida Akter to Chinelle Henry, full and flat on middle and leg, clipped to long on for one
Chinelle Henry, RHB, walks out to the middle and will be on strike to face her first delivery
11.2 Nahida Akter to Shemaine Campbelle, STUMPED! Oh, just a bit too energetic from Campbelle. She comes down the track seeing the loop but the ball was always going to dip. It does and she misses the big leg-side hoick. Sultana collects it easily and clips the bails off.
