Milestone
So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj, my co-commentator, Ajay and our scorer for this match, Paras Yadav. Do stay tuned to our coverage with a lot more cricket continuing tomorrow and for the days after as well. Till the next time, it is a warm good-bye from us.
Jemimah Rodrigues (Player of the Match): "Really happy. More happy that Radha took the catch and we won the game. I dropped the sitter then Smriti dropped but Radha said she made it up for us.
There has been a lot of matches recently and it has been challenging to be mentally fresh. Had a chat with Smriti Mandhana recently on how to go about my batting. The plan was to keep taking the singles and if there are loose balls, it will be a bonus.
Coach had told me to bat till the end. Hundred per cent, we could have still scored more. We know what the West Indies are capable of with Deandra Dottin and Qiana Joseph also being there.
It was very tough to bowl, credit to the bowlers to bowl so well with that much dew. We are giving it our all with our fielding, a shift will come and I am confident of that. Also dedicate this to my best friend."

Player of the Match: Jemimah Rodrigues
Smriti Mandhana (India's Stand-in Captain): "She (Harmanpreet Kaur) is doing fine. Under the observation of the medical time. Hopefully, she will be fine soon.
I think we started well. Uma's first game as an opener. She was good. Jemimah came in and did well, I just had to get her back on strike.
It is hard to bowl with this much dew, huge credit to the bowlers. That's a call, as a team we have to take. Even after winning, we want to improve. After the start we got, 200 was definitely on the cards.
Today, we had Sajana, she was our sixth bowling option. Today all of the five bowlers were on the mark. With the way Deandra Dottin was going, bowling an off-spinner did not feel like a good option. She has been bowling really well in the domestic games as well, we definitely have the extra option."

Smart Saver of the Match: Minnu Mani
Great Indian Striker of the Match: Jemimah Rodrigues (9 boundaries)
Game Changer of the Match: Deandra Dottin (105 Fantasy Points)
Hayley Matthews (West Indies Captain): "Just a bit loose with the ball. We had certain lengths in mind but didn't execute. Qiana Joseph did well and Deandra Dottin gave some hope in the middle, so a lot of positives to take away.
The girls have had a few days here and it has been nice to acclimatize even though it didn't show with the ball. We have had good preparation coming into the series. We back ourselves to chase any score but yeah probably they got 15-20 too many. There were probably just a few too many big overs."
