Vadodara, India – India Women secured a commanding 115-run victory over West Indies Women in the second One Day International (ODI) of their three-match series at the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara today. This win gives India a 1-0 lead in the series.
Harleen Deol led India’s batting charge with a stunning 115 runs off 103 balls, while Pratika Rawal contributed a valuable 76 (86). India posted a formidable 358/5 in their 50 overs. In response, despite a century by Hayley Matthews (106 off 109 balls), the West Indies were bowled out for 243 in 46.2 overs.
Priya Mishra (9.2-49-3) and Titas Sadhu (10-42-2) were the pick of the Indian bowlers, consistently dismantling the West Indies batting order. The required run rate proved insurmountable for the visitors, who struggled to keep pace with India’s massive total. The West Indies innings was punctuated by several wickets and despite Matthews’ valiant effort, the team could not overcome the deficit.
