Cricket: White Ferns lose again to Windies

The West Indies have convincingly beaten the White Ferns by eight wickets in their third one day international at Warner Park in St Kitts, taking a 3-0 lead in the best of four series.

A dominant display with the ball from Shakera Selman (5-15) saw the White Ferns dismissed for just 69 from 32.2 overs. The West Indies wasted little time in hauling that target in, wrapping up the victory after 17.2 overs.

Having opted to bat first, the White Ferns top order failed to fire, with Selman devastating early on. At 38-6 things were looking dire, but there was some resistance from the lower order in Rachel Priest (19) and Maddy Green (14).

Unfortunately though it was too little too late, and the White Ferns were bundled out well short of a competitive target.

In reply, Stafanie Taylor (23 not out) and Deandra Dottin (21 not out) led their team to a comfortable win and series victory.

The fourth ODI will be played on Saturday morning (NZ time).
