Skipper Gaby Lewis got a start, scoring 24 from 36 at the top of the order, while her opening partner Sarah Forbes got to 17 before Deandra Dottin removed both openers. 
Hunter used 87 deliveries to try to steady the ship and received good support from Stokell, who faced 76 balls for her tally.

The West Indies reply did not start well with Realeanna Grimmond, who fell just shy of a century in the first ODI, facing just three deliveries before Prendergast had her caught behind for nought.
Enter Taylor, who along with Matthews repaired the damage, scoring 158 before Matthews went caught by Cara Murray off the bowling of Louise Little when she was on 100. Matthews knock came off just 94 deliveries, inclusive of 14 fours and two sixes.
Taylor saw the rest of the game out, scoring 100 off 105 deliveries, also striking 14 fours.
