WI Rising Stars end with another loss

POTCHEFSTROOM, South Africa (CMC):

West Indies Women Rising Stars finished their campaign at the inaugural ICC Under-19 Women's Twenty20 World Cup with a heavy defeat when England whipped them by 95 runs.

In their final Super6 game at Senwes Park here yesterday, West Indies Rising Stars found a target of 180 a mountain too high to climb and stuttered to 84 for eight off their 20 overs.

The defeat was the third on the trot for the Rising Stars, coming on the back of a solid start to the group stage when they won their opening two matches.

"It definitely didn't end how we wanted it to but I definitely enjoyed South Africa and the tournament was exceptional," said West Indies Women Under-19s captain, Ashmini Munisar.
