Time for the post-match presentation....
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: HAYLEY MATTHEWS
Hayley Matthews (Player of the Match & West Indies Women Captain): "Yeah, I'm just super happy to be able to go out and perform for the team. Obviously, I had a really good start with the bat, and I think my role in the team is just to bat for as long as I possibly can. And I was really fortunate to be able to do that today and, yeah, look, then was able to pick up some wickets with the ball as well.
I think the wicket did exactly what we suspected it would do this morning. We saw it was just a bit dry and figured it would crack up and get a bit drier throughout the day. What I'm probably most pleased with is my concentration throughout. I definitely set goals of wanting to stay out there for a lot of overs and anchor the team. I know I've had problems before with concentration and getting out when I've been pretty comfortable. So, yeah, just really pleased with myself and the way I was able to bat for a long time today."
