Richa's Joint-fastest Fifty, Radha's Four-fer Help India Women Thrash West Indies, Win T20I Series 2-1
Asked to bat first, Richa slammed an 18-ball half-century, the fastest fifty by an Indian women batter in the shortest format, while compiling a 21-ball 54 which helped India post a massive 217/4 in 20 overs. Skipper Smriti Mandhana hammered a 47-ball 77, her 30th fifty-plus score in the format, while Jemimah Rodrigues (39) and Raghvi Bist (31 not out) made vital contributions as the hosts rode on a brilliant performance by their top order to score their highest total in women's T10Is.
In reply, the West Indies women failed to keep up pace with the big chase as they lost Qiana Joseph (11) to Sajeevan Sajana with 20 runs on the board. Captain Hayley Matthews did get a start but was caught by Sajana off Radha Yadav soon after the visitors had crossed the 50-run mark.
