They came in as underdogs, are going out at as World Cup runners-up but West Indies women's cricket team captain Merissa Aguilleira is not exactly elated given the way her side collapsed in the final against Australia here.
West Indies lost by a whopping 114 runs to the Aussies in a lopsided contest. It was sharp contrast to Caribbeans' spirited win against the same opponents in the Super Six stage.
"Our batting has been a downfall for us throughout this tournament. We went out there and we didn't execute well so I guess that was definitely an area," she said.
"I think we went out with a mission and that was to be first place but after all things happen and we didn't play as a unit as we are accustomed to playing. So, there is so much room for improvement, we have done well but still there is a lot to be done as well," she explained.
But Aguilleira also highlighted positives for her side after a dream run.
"From fifth place to second place is extremely wonderful and I believe the people of the Caribbean will be pleased with us, so there is so much to be thankful for.
"It is a really huge accomplishment. We have never reached a World Cup final but we are here. We had Stafanie Taylor who made 171. Deandra (Dottin), people have come to know her because of her power hitting." MORE
