Having already pocketed the ODI series 2-0, the Indian women's team showed no mercy on the visitors as she was on the money with the ball. The decision to bat first by West Indies women did not go according to plan as Renuka Singh was lethal in her spell having jolted the visitors with two wickets in the first over. Shemaine Campbelle (46) and Chinelle Henry (61) then stitched a partnership for the visitors to get them near 100.
However, once Deepti was in the attack she was at the top of her game and wrapped the West Indies tail and helped India bowl them out for 161 in 38.5 overs. Only three West Indies batters got into double figures as India ran riot with the ball.
