The Indian team’s two best results came from Shafali Verma with a 43 and Jemimah Rodrigues with a half-ton. Deepti Sharma’s cameo is a must-not-forget role. Her strike sent India Women past the 160-run barrier for the first time.

Battle
Barbados Women’s batting has been atrocious once again. In spite of the daunting task ahead of them, they came out to bat without any purpose. Deandra Dottin was escorted back to the hut from the very beginning of the battle.
Despite a few nice shots, Hayley Matthews was unable to separate herself from her companion. At the end of the Powerplay, Barbados Women were reeling at 20 for 4 with the wickets falling at an alarming rate! Trishan Holder and Alisa Scantlebury did manage to hang in there, but they, too, succumbed to their wounds. Only two of their players had a batting average of more than ten.
That tells you all you need to know about their batting performance. Barbados Women had a rough day at the office today!
