TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Deandra Dottin and Stafanie Taylor linked up with bat and ball to give West Indies Women a 38-run win over England at Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium to level the five-match One-Day International series at 1-1.

Taylor, the West Indies captain, struck 56 to guide the West Indies to 148 all out in exactly 50 overs after they won the toss and chose to bat first.

Dottin re-emphasised her all-round quality with 4-19 that helped to dismiss England Women for 110 inside 42 overs.

Scores: West Indies 148 (50 overs); England 110 (41.4 overs)

England had a five-run win in the first ODI on Saturday after restricting West Indies to 144 in reply to the 149.

The teams now turn attention to three pivotal games at Sabina Park in Kingston, starting on Friday.

Those three games will count towards the ICC Women’s Championship contested between the top eight international sides, which will lead to automatic qualification for the top four teams to next year’s ICC Women’s World Cup.
