Spinner Anisa Mohammed, who came into bat at number 10, was aggressive and her 31 runs in 32 balls, with four fours, propelled her side past 200. She forged a 45-run stand with Shanel Daley (37).

Incidentally, this was West Indies' highest score against New Zealand, the previous best being 136 in the 2009 World Cup. New Zealand left-arm spinner Morna Nielsen ripped through the West Indies middle-order, as she scalped three for 27 runs. Pace spearhead Sian Ruck struck early to dismiss openers, Natasha McLean and Kycia Knight, within ten overs of play, while Bates chipped in with two wickets, including that of power player Deandra Dottin. The world record holder for fastest century in T20s, Dottin did not disappoint, as she wielded her bat to strike four fours and a six in her 21-ball 27, but it was the number seven batter, Daley, who steered her team past the 200 with a patient 37 off 64.
