Women T20 World Cup 2023: India vs West Indies Score Updates: India will enter the second match of the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup today. India’s opponents are former champions West Indies. The match will be played at Newlands Cricket Ground at 6:30 PM IST. India are currently second in Group B.
India will be confident of winning the first match against Pakistan. In the absence of Smyati Mandana, the main batting line-up star, India managed to win by chasing 150 runs against Pakistan. It was also the second-highest score to win the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup.
The performance of Jamima Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh, who scored half-centuries, was crucial. Both were able to exploit Pakistan’s bowling errors. Jamima remained unbeaten on 53 runs off 38 balls. Richa scored 31 runs in 20 balls.
But the Indian bowling line was tested against Pakistan. The setback was the conceding of runs in the last overs. It will be crucial for India to make up for their bowling deficiencies against the West Indies.
On the other hand, West Indies are coming after a heavy defeat against England. It took just 14.3 overs for England to chase down the target of 136 runs set by West Indies. If they don’t beat India, the West Indies’ knock-out chances may fade.
