A cameo of 34 from Chinelle Henry helped as the match ran down to the wire with Windies needing six runs from the final over. Matthews smashed a four to win the game with a ball to spare and ended a fine knock of 66 runs off 53 balls. The result sees the West Indies still keeping their hopes alive and Matthews told Sky Sports afterwards that there was “a lot of pressure” throughout the game. “There was definitely a lot of pressure, we knew it was a score where we’d need someone to bat really deep. Kudos to the Irish girls, they bowled well and bowled in some good areas, I am really proud of the girls and teams too.”
