Indeed, this was a dead rubber but the stakes were pretty high. Coming into the match, neither team had registered a single win in the tournament. Only Pakistan shared that record, having lost five of their five matches.

A victory would give the winning team a morale booster and something to take back home after a disappointing World Cup. They would take the positives, the smiles would be back in the dressing room, the fans would have something to cheer about.

In the end, it was the Windies women who came out on top and celebrated a much-yearned victory. The Lankans, who have endured a very disappointing World Cup so far, were left crestfallen. They have two games remaining and would look to register at least one win before going back home.
