India vs West Indies, Women's T20 World Cup Highlights: India got off to a belter of a start to their chase of 119 with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma putting up an opening stand of 32 off 21 balls. However, they quickly lost three wickets to come under pressure within the first seven overs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh steadied the boat for the Indians. Harmanpreet ended up falling while India were still four runs away from victory and Ghosh then took India over the line. Earlier, Pooja Vastrakar struck with her very first delivery of the match, taking the wicket of West Indies captain Hayley Matthews and then went on to bowl a maiden-wicket to start off with. Shemaine Campbelle and Stefanie Taylor have managed to steady the West Indies innings somewhat and saw them through the powerplay. Eventually, their partnership went past the 50-run mark and saw the West Indies past the first 10 overs as well. Then came the fall for the West Indies as Deepti Sharma struck twice before a run out hampered their progress. In the process, Deepti became the highest wicket taker for India in T20Is.
