Tue Oct 01 15:49:40 UTC 2024: ## Jemimah Rodrigues Shines with Half-Century in India’s Warm-up Win Against West Indies
**Dubai:** Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues starred in a comfortable warm-up victory against the West Indies, smashing a half-century to set up India’s eight-wicket win. Rodrigues, known for her explosive hitting, scored 52 runs off just 40 balls, including five boundaries.
The 21-year-old’s knock was crucial in chasing down West Indies’ modest total of 141. While Yastika Bhatia provided support with 24 runs, other Indian batters struggled. Notably, Kerala’s Sajan and Ash Sobhana did not get to bat.
This convincing win will boost India’s confidence ahead of the Women’s T20 World Cup, which begins in South Africa next month. The tournament is expected to be fiercely competitive, with several strong teams vying for the title.
