Jemimah Rodrigues then chipped in with 36-ball 52s – helping India post an impressive total of 358 for five wickets against Ireland back in 2017.
Deandra Dottin and Arlene Kelly both captured two wickets each for the West Indies, who never quite managed to get going with their bats. It was Hayley Matthews’ exceptional 125-ball century that gave hosts hope of making a comeback.

Not known for her power hitting, Deol made the most of favorable conditions with an elegant innings that produced 12 fours and three sixes off 103 balls; hitting her first boundary off bowler Orla Prendergast off ball three of fourth over; quickly hitting nineties by ball four.
Mandhana also made an impressive 62 off 47 balls, hitting 10 fours and one six before her attempt at slog-sweeping Zaida James delivery with extra bounce led to her run-out. Deol and Rodrigues then produced an outstanding third wicket partnership of 116 runs to put India firmly in command; Deol’s 50-run partnership was India’s highest third-wicket stand ever in an ODI; India went past 300 runs for the first time ever and their efforts helped surpass 300 runs for first time ever and highest against West Indies at home as they won this series 2-0; all day-time fixture planned in Rajkot!
West Indies: 243 for 9
India crushed West Indies Women with bat and ball in Baroda for an emphatic 211-run win to take an early 2-0 advantage in the series. Smriti Mandhana’s outstanding batting performance was key, while debutant Pratika Rawal made her presence felt throughout.
The visitors made an inauspicious start in their chase, losing openers Uma Chetry and Jemimah Rodrigues early. But hopes of an unlikely comeback were lifted by an impressive 59-run partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma before both were dismissed in successive overs.
West Indies Captain Hayley Matthews met up with her players after the match to acknowledge their failure in all three facets. She stressed that this standard of cricket wasn’t up to their standards and advised that they return to training in order to address weaknesses and strengthen performance.

Renuka Singh led with her five-wicket haul, while Shermaine Campbelle scored 21 runs despite taking an injury blow to lead off their bowlers’ attack against Windies visitors.
