Scorer: Venkat Raghav | Commentator: Ashish Pant
That's it from us today, but you just need to go to the other tab with Ireland all set to take on Pakistan at the same venue. Vishal is working hard on his report that should be in soon. Till that time, this is Ashish Pant signing off, on behalf of Vishal, Raghav and Chandan. Ciao!
Harmanpreet Kaur, the India captain: Great day for us. Whatever we were expecting we managed to do. Few balls were here and there, but except for that, we were really well. [On Deepti] We did discuss about it in the team meeting. The bowling coach helped her. [On Richa Ghosh] She has been great for us. She is someone who can always pull the game for us. She is a very dangerous batter. She can express herself. We are happy with the results and the next game is very important. Just want to continue the rhythm
Shemaine Campbelle, the team vice-captain has come for the presentation as Hayley Matthews had hurt herself: We did not get as many runs. We were looking to get 150, that would have been a fighting total. We were not able to capitalise. If one of the top three batters batted through, we could have got the score. Ramharack bowled well. Not sure about Hayley. We will know shortly.
Time for the presentation
Deepti Sharma is the Player of the match: I really feel good. What we discussed in the meeting and I have certain plans, I just did that. I am happy with the result. [On 100 T20I wickets] It is a milestone, but that is on the side. My focus is on the result and the team. It is a turning wicket and helped me a lot. I focused on the stump-to-stump line.
6.08pm Another two points for India, who are still second on the group behind England. West Indies continue their poor run of form. This is the 15th T20I that they have lost on the trot. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana started off quickly scoring 28 runs in the first two overs. West Indies then struck back with three quick wickets and stifled the scoring. Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur then stitched a 72-run stand off 65 balls for the fourth wicket to get India back on track. There was turn on offer, but the duo kept India steady. Richa remained unbeaten on 44 and made sure to take her side over the line.
Siva: "16.3 had Jos Buttler written all over it, delaying the extension of the batlift down and using timing and power for that shot"
