LONDON, England (CMC):

West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews has admitted that the team’s star players did not perform to their full potential after they were dumped out of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup by Australia Women at the semi-final stage on Tuesday.

Speaking in a post-match press conference after their eight-wicket defeat at Kennington Oval, Matthews said that Deandra Dottin, Stafanie Taylor and herself – the team’s three best batters – did not have a good tournament.
