West Indies women cricketers beat New Zealand by 48 runs in their Super Six match in Mumbai on Monday to keep alive their chances of qualifying for the World Cup final against Australia.

West Indies finished with 9-207 off their 50 overs and dismissed New Zealand for 159 in the 45th over.

Stafanie Taylor top-scored for the Windies with 49 while Rachael Priest was the best of the New Zealander batters with 36.

After two wins in the Super Six stage the Windies can make the final on February 17 if they beat Australia in their last preliminary on Wednesday.

If the West Indies lose, it will come down to net run rate between them and the winners of the match between New Zealand and defending champions England to be played the same day.

The Australians have already qualified.
