India have beaten West Indies and what a performance it has been from the hosts!

India have a 1-0 lead in the series and West Indies will need to look back at the things that went wrong in this match. Deandra Dottin celebrated her Rs 1.7 crore payday at the WPL 2025 auction with a solid half-century and Qiana Joseph struck 49. But there was not much support from the others. With this win, India have a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series! Thanks for sticking by us for the live coverage of the IND-W vs WI-W 1st T20I 2024!

West Indies have scored 97/3 at the end of 12 overs and the required run rate is climbing big time. Deandra Dottin is the key here if the visitors are to chase this down. 

OUT! Titas Sadhu has her second wicket and it is that of Qiana Joseph, who has fallen one run short of a fifty! The left-hander attempted to punch the ball on the off-side but it was an aerial one and went straight into the hands of Saima Thakor. A big wicket this as West Indies have been dented big time! Qiana Joseph c Saima Thakor b Titas Sadhu 49(33) 

Qiana Joseph has started to find the boundaries more regularly alongside Deandra Dottin, who has joined her in the middle. India will look to separate this pair or else this game could change. 

OUT! Deepti Sharma has struck and she has castled Shemaine Campbelle! The right-hander went for a slog but missed the arm ball which crashed into the middle stump. Shemaine Campbelle b Deepti Sharma 13(13)
