WI Women won the ICC Women's Cricket Challenge

West Indies raced to an impressive eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka to claim the title in twenty20 leg of the ICC Women's Cricket Challenge on Saturday. In the other play-offs, South Africa finished third beating Pakistan by six wickets and Ireland got the better of Netherlands by 42 runs to finish fifth.

Deandra Dottin remained unbeaten on 39 (22b, 5x4, 2x6) and shared a second wicket stand of 46 with Juliana Nero to complete the formalities.
