SYDNEY, Australia (CMC):Despite West Indies' fifth-place finish at the ICC Women's World Cup, all-rounder Shanel Daley says she is extremely proud of what the inexperienced Caribbean side has achieved.

The 20-year-old Jamaican starred with bat and ball as West Indies beat Pakistan by three wickets yesterday in the fifth-place playoff to end the tournament on a high note.

Proud of team

"I am very proud of the team and our performance. I don't think we had a great tournament, as I think we could have done better, but that is how it goes," said Daley. "I am happy that we maintained our faith as we have not been on the international scene for a while. So I am proud of how we came back."

The victory was just one of two in the tournament for the Windies, after they won their opening match against South Africa two weeks ago to qualify for the Super Six, second-round stage.

Daley was in the forefront of Saturday's victory, claiming four for 29 with her incisive left-arm medium pace before returning to anchor the innings with an 83-ball 24, opening the batting.

"I surprised myself how well I bowled today as I didn't start that well, but it developed into something good," said Daley, who earned the Player-of-the-Match award for her performance.

She finished the tournament with seven wickets from four matches and said she had enjoyed the experience Down Under.
