Earlier in the game, after opting to bat first, West Indies were jolted early by Renuka Singh Thakur's brilliant spell, as she claimed three quick wickets. Chinelle Henry and Shemaine Campbelle steadied the ship with a resilient 91-run partnership. However, once the stand was broken, India capitalized on the breakthrough with Deepti Sharma taking charge of the proceedings. She finished with a 6-wicket haul as the tourists slipped from 100/3 to 162 all out.
Having posted only 162 on the board, the visitors knew their only chance lay in taking wickets. They made an excellent start by removing India's top three within the first Powerplay. Harmanpreet Kaur kept the scoreboard ticking despite the early setbacks. However, her dismissal reignited the Windies' hopes. As Deepti Sharma joined Jemimah Rodrigues out in the middle, they knew that all they had to do was to bat sensibly and they did just that. They steadily chipped away at the target by picking ones and twos during their 56-run stand. Rodrigues could not bat through but Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma ensured that there were no more hiccups in the chase.
