Taylor does it with bat and ball
Zimbabwe chose to bat and finished on 142/6. Taylor kept things tight with 2 for 8 in her four overs, picking up Chipo Mugeri Tiripano (7, stumped by Mandy Mangru) and Chiedza Dhururu (9, lbw). In the chase she stayed unbeaten on 64 off 39 balls with 11 fours, and West Indies reached 143/2 in 17 overs, home with 3 overs to spare. Jannillea Glasgow added 15 off 15.
Ndhlovu's lone hand
Kelis Ndhlovu was the standout of Zimbabwe's innings with 63 off 48 balls, including 6 fours and 3 sixes. Only Beloved Biza (21 off 16) joined her past 20, which left the total short of what the chase needed.
Why it matters
A clean sweep on tour is a good way for West Indies to start, and Taylor is still running the show as a veteran all-rounder. The 1st and 2nd T20Is were also won by 8 wickets. Three ODIs are still to come on the same tour.
