Live | IND W vs WI W | What lies ahead for India?

 

The Indian team not only win a big game but also got two of its best batters in form. With Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur in great form, it would be great for women in blue to take on England and Australia in its next two games. Yastika Bhatia looked good today and Mithali Raj at three looks a much better plan to let her settle down and play according to the situation. Thus the next two games, especially the next game against England on March 16, 2022, is going to be yet another big game.

Live | IND W vs WI W | India win by 155 runs- Match Summary

 

The West Indies team started the chase in a great manner getting to 100 runs without any loss in the first 12 overs itself and it seemed like a tight game was in the making. However, Deandra Dottin, who top-scored with 62 off 46 balls for women from the Caribbean, was feeling uncomfortable with injury and got out eventually to Sneh Rana. Post her dismissal, the rest of the team fell for only 62 more runs as West Indies were all out for 162 in the 41st over. Sneh Rana finished with figures of 3/22 in her 9.3 overs.

 

Earlier in the day, the Indian team got to a great total as centuries from Mandhana and Harmanpreet took the women in blue to 317/8 in the 50 overs. Those two were the pillars of strength for the teams as they added 184 for the fourth wicket, the highest ever fourth-wicket stand for India Women in ODIs. The West Indies bowlers were off the mark and Anisa Mohammed picked two wickets for 59 runs.

Dot balls have been building for quite some time now as these are the first runs in the last three overs and 31 overs have passed. India are squeezing the runs, but Windies here now understand that they need to play out all the overs to stay in the hunt as far as net run rate is concerned
