MUMBAI – India Women secured a convincing 49-run victory over West Indies Women in their recent match. India posted a challenging 195/4 in their 20 overs, fueled by impressive performances from Jemimah Rodrigues (73 runs off 35 balls) and Smriti Mandhana (54 runs off 33 balls). Karishma Ramharack led the West Indies bowling attack with 4 wickets for 18 runs.
In response, West Indies Women managed only 146/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Deandra Dottin top-scored with 52 runs off 28 balls, and Qiana Joseph contributed 49 runs off 33 balls. However, their efforts were thwarted by India’s effective bowling. Titas Sadhu and Deepti Sharma claimed 4 wickets each, restricting the West Indies’ chase. Deepti Sharma finished with impressive figures of 4/21 and Titas Sadhu with 4/37. Zaida James’ repeated dismissals, caught by Uma Chetry at deep mid-wicket, significantly hampered West Indies’ batting.
The Indian bowlers maintained consistent pressure, and several West Indies batters struggled to find momentum against the disciplined attack. The win solidifies India’s strong position in the tournament.
