Deepti Sharma, Player of the Match

Deepti Sharma, Player of the Match: I feel good. What we discussed in the meeting and the plans I had against the West Indies batters, we were able to apply that in the middle. That is a milestone and I am happy with the achievement (first Indian to 100 T20I wickets). I am focusing on the rest of the World Cup games. There is a bit of turn in this surface and I focus on bowling stump to stump.

Hayley brings herself in to bowl. This move may have come in after the bashing the pacers faced. The pitch favors the spinners so the WI-W skipper chose to hold the ball.

Work to do

WI-W have lost their last 14 T20Is because of their failure to register a par-score with the bat. It has been a similar case today and their bowlers really need to bring in their A-game with the ball. WI-W can't afford another loss here.

Splendid bowling

At the halfway stage, it looked threatning for IND-W as they weren't able to break the partnership. But all thanks to Deepti's 2 wickets in one over, the batting side started to crumble. This has been an excellent effort from India's bowling department.

Losner punished

A freebie on the leg side from Vaidya helps Nation sweep well and fine enough for four valuable runs. WI-W need many more of these as we are left with the final four overs.

Nation gets a life

Nation goes for a big slog down the ground and finds Deepti Sharma but the ball gets out of her reach as the dive goes in vain. India haven't been up to the mark in the field today, a point to ponder over for them.

After 15 overs
