Heather Knight and Amy Jones kept the innings moving with a 40-run partnership and put England innings back on track but then they lost three wickets in the space of 10 runs and looked like getting bowled out even before the completion of 20 overs.
However, Sarah Glenn and Katherine Brunt prevented the collapse and added 46 runs from 31 balls. Sophie Ecclestone capped off the innings with 11 runs from four balls to take the hosts to 151/8.
West Indies didn’t look comfortable at any point during their chase and even though Dottin and Taylor contributed with 38 and 28 respectively, the other batters struggled and all the visitors could manage was 104 for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
The two teams will now face each other in the third match at the same venue on Saturday, 26 September.
Brief scores: England Women 151/8 (Sarah Glenn 26, A Jones 25; Stafanie Taylor 2/12)…
