India vs West Indies (IND-W vs WI-W) Live Score, Women Cricket 3rd ODI: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third and final ODI of the ongoing three-match series between the India and West Indies women’s cricket teams. India has already sealed the series by winning the first two matches played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, and the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side would like to end 2024 with one more win.
West Indies captain Hayley Matthews won the toss in the last match of the tour and opted to bat 1st but her decision was proved wrong by pacer Renkua Singh Thakur, who got rid of both the Windies openers in the first over of the match itself.
After Deepti’s fiery opening spell where she picked up three wickets all-rounder Deepti Sharma claimed a stunning career-best six-wicket haul to bowl out the visitors for 162.
Thakur (4/29) and Deepti (6/31) were relentless with the ball, taking all 10 wickets between them.
Thakur’s accurate line and length dismantled the top order, while Deepti deceived the West Indies batters with flight and guile, recording her third ODI five-wicket haul and second six-wicket performance.
West Indies fought back with a 97-run partnership between Chinelle Henry (61) and Shemaine Campbelle (46), helping them to cross 160. Without this stand, the visitors might have been bowled out for less than 100.
Apart from Henry and Campbelle, only Aaliyah Alleyne (21) reached a double digit score as West Indies’ batting woes continued.
Team India is wearing black armbands today as a mark of respect to former Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh, who passed away on Thursday.
