Malaysia, as a result, are knocked out after finishing bottom of the group with three defeats.
Malaysia were 38 for 2 after 10 overs chasing 113 and that’s when Ramnath started a collapse that saw the hosts lose eight wickets for 21 runs. The Malaysia batters were unable to read her as she got all four of her wickets either bowled or lbw.
Bowling her second over, she first castled her opposite number Nur Daniya Syuhada – who had incidentally dismissed Ramnath in West Indies’ innings – and then trapped Nur Izzatul Syafiqa in front in the same over.
West Indies had been put in to bat and struggled to pick up the pace, but Ramnath’s opening partner Assabi Callender held the innings together with a 42-ball 30, and got them to a total that proved to be more than sufficient.
India and Sri Lanka, who play later in the day, are above West Indies in the group and have already secured entry into the next stage.
