9th over: West Indies 39-1 (Dottin 30, Matthews 8) That’s nasty. Sutherland on to bowl, on the pads, Matthews clips it to midwicket. Alana King is there but it takes a horrible bounce off the edge of one of the other strips, skipping up to hit her in the throat. She ends up on all fours, coughing hard, and eventually comes off the field to be checked. Matthews backs up with the same shot when play resumes, getting a single this time. Dottin lines up Sutherland for a big drive but gets an inside edge to deep backward for a single. Matthews pulls nicely but finds the same outfielder. Dottin switches it up for the last ball, flat-batting a short one over the off side instead, scoring four to deep third.
Fielding restrictions end. It’s a 45-over match. West Indies need 267 more in 36 overs, which is 7.42. They’re at 4.36.
