Good Morning, शुभ प्रभात! Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the second of the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series between hosts India Women, and visitors West Indies Women at the Dr. Gokaraju Liala Gangaaraju ACA Cricket Ground in Mulapadu on Sunday. I am Ayush Gupta, and I will be bringing to you the live updates of this tie. The Indian Women won the opening tie by six wicket at Vijaywada, as they aim to continue with the same winning momentum and win it here to seal the series, while the West Indies Women would in turn look to make a comeback and level terms for the decider in the third ODI.

India Women are off to flying start to the final round of ICC Women’s One-Day International (ODI) Championship 2016 against West Indies Women, beating them by 6 wickets in the first ODI at the newly inaugurated twin-stadium at Malapadu in Vijayawada. The Eves have gone through several changes since their debacle in ICC T20 Women World Cup 2016. Though, Mithali Raj is leading India in limited-over cricket, she has been relieved from the duties of shortest format and her deputy Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the side for three Twenty20 International (T20Is) against West Indies as well as the upcoming Asia Cup.
With former cricketer Suman Sharma, making an entry as India’s fielding coach, that Mithali has been rueing about post T20WWC defeat, India have surely taken the task on hand pretty seriously. The No. 6 ranked team are also looking to better their rankings winning this series by margin of 3-0. Considering it will be a grueling season ahead, India have lot of homework yet to be done despite their all-round performance in the first ODI. The bowlers and batters got the wickets as well as runs respectively, but the ones who flourished in the T20WWC were stuttering after a gap of six months.

It was pitch that belonged to the hard-hitting batters, but West Indies faltered and were nowhere closer to the tag of ‘champions’. West Indies top batters that included skipper Stafanie along with Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews failed to build the required runs against the Eves strong bowling attack. Although, Hayley and Stafanie added 24 and 19 respectively, Deandra was gone cheaply for 8. Coming with defeat against England Women by 2-1, this loss added further fuel to fire that West Indies will be itching to calm down. Merissa Aguilleira was the only talking point for West Indies, who pursued her side beyond the 100-run mark and provided competitive total on board.
This series is crucial in all forms for both the teams especially with Harmanpreet and Smiriti now part of the Australia’s biggest domestic T20 league – Women Big Bash League (WBBL) all set to begin from December. However, India’s promising spinners are the ones who can do the trick once again in the second ODI. With likes of Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari, and Deepti pushing harder to get wickets and Ekta boosting the spin unit, India are most likely to sail through the World Cup.
