- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 strikes first ball! Matthews is gone straightaway, big wicket for India. Not a great delivery, to be honest, because it was short of length with some width, and Matthews went after it with a back-foot punch bit what beat her was extra bounce and took the upper edge straight into Ghosh's gloves 4/113.6 Loud appeal from Depeti as Taylor moves across her stumps and misses the flick. Not given, but India have taken the review! Oh, this looks very close. She did move right across the stumps and Deepti bowled that very straight. No bat, and ball-tracker confirms the ball would have smashed into off stump. Big wicket! 78/313.3 Gets the reverse sweep out and Mandhana at short third hangs on to a lovely catch diving forward! That was pushed in quicker around off stump. She gets out the reverse sweep, does not keep it down, and Mandhana completes a good catch. 77/214.2 Short of a length ball outside off, she cuts to backward point where there is a misfield. They scamper back for a couple of runs. Hang on, there is a run out appeal, and Henry seems to be run out. Oh, she is! The fielder fired in a flat throw, and as Henry dived into her crease, her bat bounced and was in the air when Ghosh whipped off the bails. West Indies slide and how! 79/418.6 Gets a wicket off her last ball does Thakur! Full and straight. You miss I hit, and hit Thakur does. Comes into the batter, who has a wild swing at it, misses and the leg stump takes a beating. 114/519.2 100 T20I wickets for Deepti. First Indian to achieve it! Tossed up and turning into the batter, who has a wild heave, misses and the ball shatters into middle stump. Excellent from Deepti. 115/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL118/6 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Hayley Matthews, 1.1 ov), 2-77 (Shemaine Campbelle, 13.3 ov), 3-78 (Stafanie Taylor, 13.6 ov), 4-79 (Chinelle Henry, 14.2 ov), 5-114 (Shabika Gajnabi, 18.6 ov), 6-115 (Afy Fletcher, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 Shafali holes out, Ramharack strikes again! They have always had protection in the deep for Shafali, but she can't resist the temptation. Goes down on a knee for the sweep in the air and long leg gets under it quite easily. Shafali's head drops to show her disappointment 43/33.3 Ramharack has struck by beating Mandhana's big shot! The opener came down and tried to drive inside out with the spin, but couldn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and was a little too far towards the leg side, the ball turned away too and the keeper finished the stumping before Mandhana could turn back properly 32/14.5 super return catch from Hayley Matthews! Rodrigues went down on a knee and ended up almost slog-sweeping that straight back. It travelled very quickly and Matthews did very well to react with both hands grabbing the ball near her chest as she went down 35/217.5 Top catch by the fielder running in from deep cover! Length ball well outside off. Harman reaches for it looking for a loft over cover. Instead, slices it and there are three fielders converging, but Campbell sprints in and holds on. 115/4Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL119/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Smriti Mandhana, 3.3 ov), 2-35 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 4.5 ov), 3-43 (Shafali Verma, 7.1 ov), 4-115 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 17.5 ov)
