Smriti Mandhana hundred for India scuppers West Indies

India made a dream start to the tournament by stunning hosts England by 35 runs before trouncing West Indies by seven wickets in their next encounter. The West Indies side has looked below par, failing to put up any fight. Kuldeep’s first outing for India came in a Test against Australia in March, when he took four wickets in the first innings. West Indies, under Taylor’s leadership, went on to win the tournament. Kuldeep has played a lot of games in IPL but when it comes to global cricket, it’s important to know where to use your variety.

Changes, finally, are expected in the India playing XI when they play the West Indies having already taken a cannot-be-beaten lead with a fuss-free win in Antigua on Friday. Pristine islands, no crowd to haunt them for selfies, a small press contingent, an easy opposition, and their internal troubles far far away for the moment. She adds, “It’s ridiculous that a bilateral series of India and West Indies is given so much importance whereas the Women’s World Cup isn’t even aired fully!”

The 4th ODI match between West Indies and India will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua.

Rahane and Dhoni kept the runs flowing with a 70-run partnership, during which Rahane surpassed his fifty, before he was removed by Cummins for 72 off 112 balls, which included four boundaries and a six. Good batsmen nearly mark him down for approximately one short ball an over and milk him without too much trouble.

Jason Holder has an unenviable task of leading an inexperienced West Indies side, and he tried to do the noble thing of leading from the front.

“Anyone who plays cricket will tell you that you get better the more you play and the constraints that we have is that we didn’t play competitive cricket but at this present moment I’m not going to use that as an excuse”, Drakes said here Tuesday. We were thinking about scoring 225-230, but Mahi bhai batted really well.

A series that was accepted to be one-sided got off to a lukewarm start thanks to the first ODI being washed off and the second being won contentedly by visitors of the country India. Although it wasn’t a dominating batting performance like the last match, the score looked competitive given the dicey nature of the pitch that had variable bounce making it hard to bat at ease.
