Women’s T20 World Cup: West Indies beat New Zealand as Shemaine Campbelle hits 90
ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, Group 2, Southampton
New Zealand 162-6 (20 overs): Halliday 40 (32); Alleyne 4-27
West Indies 163-3 (19.5 overs): Campbelle 90* (62); J Kerr 2-17
West Indies won by seven wickets
Defending champions New Zealand were beaten in their Women’s T20 World Cup opener as West Indies edged a last-over thriller in Southampton.
Chasing 163, West Indies reached their target with a ball to spare as Shemaine Campbelle finished unbeaten on 90.
Sophie Devine was tasked with defending six from the final over and Campbelle gave the strike to 20-year-old Jahzara Claxton with one run needed, with the pair sprinting a bye from the penultimate ball to secure the victory.
Campbelle was visibly emotional at the conclusion as it was her first T20 fifty in 122 matches for the Windies.
New Zealand were left to rue several dropped catches, including star all-rounder Hayley Matthews on nine before she went on to make 48 to set up the chase.
The White Ferns’ 162-6 looked a competitive total at the halfway stage as they recovered from a mini-collapse from 49-0 to 56-3.
After Izzy Gaze made 39 at the top of the order, Brooke Halliday and Maddy Green chipped in with 40 and 35, while Aaliyah Alleyne took 4-27 for West Indies.
It could prove to be a crucial win for West Indies in a group where England are favourites to finish top but the fight for second place is very open.

Richie Berrington and Lyle Robertson star as Scotland crush Canada
ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series, Forthill
Scotland 347-7 (50 overs): Berrington 120, McMullen 64, Cross 51, Jones 41; Shirzad 4-60
Canada 177 (35 overs): P. Singh 42; Robertson 6-52
Scotland win by 170 runs
Captain Richie Berrington and debutant Lyle Robertson starred as Scotland enjoyed a thumping 170-run Cricket World Cup League 2 victory over Canada at Forthill.
Berrington, 39, hit an impressive 120 as the hosts posted an imposing total of 347 from their 50 overs before Falkland off-spinner Robertson ripped through Canada’s batting order, taking six wickets for 52 runs.
Berrington’s seventh one-day international century included four sixes, taking his overall haul to 90 – a new Scottish record, overtaking George Munsey’s 87.
Brandon McMullen (64) shared a third-wicket partnership of 140 with his captain after the departure of openers Finlay McCreath and Michael English had Scotland on 25-2 in the seventh over.
Michael Jones and Matthew Cross kept up the brisk run rate with knocks of 41 and 51 not out respectively and Jack Jarvis added 30 from 14 balls for a 347-7 total.
Berrington was also involved as Canada lost their first wicket in the third over of their reply, taking a catch from the bowling of Mark Watt.
Pargat Singh (42) was the only Canadian batter to offer any meaningful resistance as Robertson staked his claim for a regular place in the Scotland side.
The 23-year-old picked up his first international wicket as Harsh Thaker picked out Oliver Davidson on the midwicket boundary and his day got even better as he took five scalps from his final 15 deliveries to finish with remarkable figures.
After dismissing Shreyas Movva and Zahid Shirzad in successive balls for his five-wicket haul, Robertson had number 11 Kaleem Sana in his sights for a hat-trick.
That particular feat was not to be, but Robertson ripped one back through bat and pad with the last ball of his spell to seal a massive win and cap a dream debut.
Scotland were already assured of place in the World Cup qualifier after last week’s win over the same opponents.
Having beaten the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, the defending champions are now top of the World Cup League 2 standings, although they have played four more matches than the United States, who sit two points behind.
