New Zealand go 1-0 up in CG United ODI Series

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua– New Zealand secured a 5-run win via the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method over the West Indies Women in the first CG United One Day International at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews said, “The girls put up a really good fight in the first innings to get us to the total that we got, so kudos to Kyshona and Chinelle. We took some crucial wickets in the middle after the start New Zealand got. Of course it’s disappointing the way the game ended but all in all, I think it was a good first game.”

Both teams meet again on Thursday September 22 at the same venue for the 2nd CG United ODI, from 9:30am Eastern Caribbean/8:30am Jamaica time.
