CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – Captain Stafanie Taylor struck a half-century but a timid West Indies run chase saw them go down by 90 runs to Australia in their first official warm-up of the ICC Women’s 50-over World Cup.Asked to chase 260 at Lincoln Green on Sunday, West Indies limped to 169 for nine from their 50 overs, Taylor punching 66 to lead an otherwise disappointing batting effort, a week out from their opening group stage campaign against hosts New Zealand.Hayley Matthews, 24, and Chedean Nation, 20, both had starts but failed to convert as Ellyse Perry (2-6), Tahlia McGrath (2-17), Analana King (2-18) and Annabel Sutherland (2-19) finished with two wickets each.
