IND-W vs WI-W, 3rd T20I: India beat West Indies by 60 runs, clinch series 2-1
Live MintRicha Ghosh smashed a record-equalling fastest fifty while Smriti Mandhana made a graceful fifty to propel India to a 60-run victory over the West Indies in the third and final women's T20I here on Thursday. Ghosh struck a 21-ball 54 while bringing up her fifty off a mere 18 balls and Mandhana made a robust 77 to power India to their highest ever T20I total of 217 for four. The West Indies could never really attain any momentum and lost Qiana Joseph early, while mainstays Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin also fell cheaply which severely hampered the visitors’ hopes. Ghosh’s blitz came after Mandhana became the leading run-scorer in this format this year, reaching 763 runs in 23 T20Is, while smacking her third consecutive fifty of the series and eighth of the year.
