So close

The West Indies Women cricketers missed out on a golden opportunity yesterday.

The girls in maroon were perfectly posed to eke out a 2-1 Twenty20 series win against New Zealand, but instead lost a heartbreaker in the dreaded Super Over in spite of another suberb performance from all-rounder Deandra Dottin, and ended up on the losing end of the series.
