Vadodara, India – India Women secured a commanding 115-run victory over West Indies Women in the second ODI at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, clinching the series 2-0. India’s massive total of 358, their joint-highest ever ODI score, proved too much for the West Indies to chase.

India’s innings was fueled by a superb century from Harleen Deol (115 runs off 98 balls) and a blistering 103-ball 115 by Smriti Mandhana (53), who put on a 100-run opening partnership. Pratika Rawal also contributed significantly with a well-played 78. The Indian batswomen consistently hit boundaries, showcasing powerful hitting throughout their innings.

West Indies’ chase was hampered by regular wickets and a lack of partnerships. Hayley Matthews top-scored for the West Indies with a century (100), but received little support from her teammates. Renuka Singh and Pratika Rawal were the pick of the Indian bowlers, both picking up crucial wickets.

The match saw some impressive individual performances, including stunning catches from Jemimah Rodrigues and Pratika Rawal. Harleen Deol’s century marked a memorable milestone in her international career.

The series victory underscores India’s dominance in women’s ODI cricket and provides a strong boost for their upcoming matches.
