Winning final might change things for West Indies Women: Taylor

Taylor, as she so often does, showed the way for her team, following up a 26-ball 25 with three wickets for 26, including Amy Satterthwaite and Sara McGlashan off consecutive deliveries. With Anisa Mohammed, usually a fulcrum of West Indies’ bowling having gone for ten in her only over, it was a timely intervention.

Victory in the final, Taylor hoped, would be the catalyst for West Indies women’s cricket to become mainstream. “I don’t think it’s that popular,” she said. “If you look at Australia, they have that foundation which we’re trying to build in the West Indies. After being in the final, and I hope that we win, it might change everything in the West Indies. People will know more about females playing the game, which we want. We want girls coming out to play the game.”
