Windies Women’s series to bowl off Monday as storm passes
ADAMS... hopefully the inclement weather doesn’t linger
ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) — Inclement weather caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Fiona has forced Cricket West Indies (CWI) to reschedule the start of the series between West Indies Women and New Zealand Women until Monday.
The series, which was set to bowl off last Friday, will now see the three-match One-day International series running from September 19-25, followed by the five-match Twenty20 International series on September 8 to October 6.
“I’m delighted that we have been able to reach an agreement with NZ Cricket, with no loss of games resulting,” said CWI’S Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams.
“Hopefully the inclement weather doesn’t linger, and we can get the show started bright and early on Monday.”
Tropical Storm Fiona passed through the Leeward Islands late Friday, bringing heavy rain and winds. The tropical storm warning has been discontinued.
All matches in the series will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound.

Unbeaten City are two points clear of second-place Arsenal, who would regain pole position if they win at Brentford on Sunday.
“The game started really well for us with the two goals and the red card. After the Champions League, to come here at 12:30 with the quality they have, it was an incredible victory,” Guardiola said.
“Jack played really good; he was strong and he made a good goal. Erling continues to score goals, that’s top.”
Even Guardiola may run out of superlatives to describe the 22-year-old Norwegian if he continues this astonishing run.
Haaland has netted in seven successive games for City and is the first player to score in their first four Premier League away appearances.
Showing their hunger to win the title for a fifth time in six seasons, City are unbeaten in a club record 22 away league matches since losing at Tottenham in their opening game last season.
The Premier League returned to action after last weekend’s games were postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and there were one-minute silences and renditions of the national anthem at all Saturday’s matches.
