Commentary

Thanks for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Pratyush Rohra- in this exciting encounter in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, goodbye and take care!

Harmanpreet Kaur (India captain): We were able to execute whatever we planned. Apart from a few errors here and there, we did really well. We discussed about Deepti's bowler in our team meetings. She was not happy with her performance last game, but she worked well with the bowling coach and has done well today. Richa is a great talent and she is doing well for us. We are ready for our next opponents.

Shemaine Campbelle (West Indies vice-captain): We didn't get as many runs as we were looking for. 150 would have been a good fighting total for us today. (What they need to do to get there) In our batting lineup, the top three have to bat till the end. If they bat through, we'll get the runs we're looking for. (Bowling) Ramharack has been bowling pretty well. It was a good spell from her and we want her to continue. (Matthews injury update) I don't know what it's about yet but we will know shortly.

Deepti Sharma is the Player of the Match. Let's read what she has to say: I feel really good. We discussed our plans in our meetings and I applied that, so I'm really happy. Delighted with the milestone (first Indian bowler to take 100 T20I wickets). That's personally fulfilling but the focus is whatever I can do for the team. The ball was turning, so that helped me a lot. All I had to do was get my lines right and stay wicket-to-wicket.

India beat the West Indies by 7 wickets!

Richa Ghosh 44 (32) | Deepti Sharma 3/15
Stafanie Taylor 42 (40) | Karishma Ramharack 2/14

India coasted to a rather comfortable victory over the West Indies here thanks to belligerent knocks by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh. They started the innings off with a flourish when their openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana got going in style. However, they lost three wickets- that of Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Verma soon and looked in a spot of bother.

That is when Kaur and Ghosh got together and bailed their country out of trouble. It was plain sailing as they rotated the strike well and punished the West Indies’ bowlers when they erred. Soon enough, they were within shooting distance of the total and made light work of it in the end.

However, the wicket of Kaur proved to be an anti-climax towards the end of the game. Earlier in the day, Deepti Sharma ensured that the West Indies did not get too many runs on the board. On the way to doing this, she became the first Indian- male or female- to get to 100 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals.

The seamers Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar bagged a wicket apiece. The other spinners in the team contributed too but they could not really get wickets. All in all, it was a clinical performance from the Women in Blue, and one that will give them a lot of confidence, especially after their opening win over Pakistan, making this two in two.

And Ghosh finishes things off Calypso-style! Her pulling abilities will soon enter lore, we strongly believe.

18.1 Shamilia Connell to Richa Ghosh, FOUR! GHOSH FINISHES THINGS OFF ONCE MORE! She's making this a nice little habit at the back end of innings. It's the short ball angled into her that's pulled away through square leg to seal the deal for her side. India win by 6 wickets with 11 balls to spare!

A wicket maiden at this stage of the game! Who would have thought? Chinelle Henry has done well for her own figures and the West Indies' net run rate.

17.6 Chinelle Henry to Devika Vaidya, pitched up outside the off-stump line. Vaidya leans forward to drive it towards point, no run

Devika Vaidya, LHB, is the new batter.

Ah! Anti-climax spectacular...

17.5 Chinelle Henry to Harmanpreet Kaur, SLICED.... GONE! Full length delivery outside the off-stump, Harmanpreet wanted to go up and over the covers to finish things off in style. However, she sliced this one over the infield and Campbelle rushes in from the ropes to pouch it safely. Three fielders were converging there, so they did well to evade a collision.

Henry is frustrating the Indians with her line!

17.4 Chinelle Henry to Harmanpreet Kaur, short and wide outside the off-stump once more. Harmanpreet wafts at it but it beaten by the extra bounce, no run

17.3 Chinelle Henry to Harmanpreet Kaur, WHOA! That's taken Harmanpreet by surprise. At the back of a length and it kicked off one of the cracks to whistle past the grill, no run

17.2 Chinelle Henry to Harmanpreet Kaur, good length delivery outside the off-stump. Harmanpreet cramps low to drive this to point, no run

Oh no! The physio is back on the ground to assist Matthews. Sadly, she is walking off the ground.

17.1 Chinelle Henry to Harmanpreet Kaur, at the back of a length in the fourth stump line. Harmanpreet stands tall to punch it into the covers, no run

Hayley Matthews has gone down after pulling a muscle! However, she is back on her feet now. India need just four runs to win this game. They are almost there.
