East London, January 24

Smriti Mandhana and captain Harmanpreet Kaur cracked fine unbeaten half-centuries as India defeated West Indies by 56 runs to keep their slate clean in the Women’s T20I Tri-Series here.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, India were off to a good start and managed 167/2 in 20 overs. They then restricted the opponents to 111/4 to eke out their second consecutive win of the series.

Openers Yastika Bhatia and Mandhana stitched together a 33-run partnership before the former was dismissed by off-spinner Karishma Ramharack for 18 with just one delivery remaining in powerplay. At 52/2, there were some tense moments but once Mandhana and Kaur paired up, boundaries flowed freely.

Brief scores: India 167/2 (Mandhana 74*, Harmanpreet 56*) vs WI 111/4 (Campbelle 47; Sharma 2/24, Yadav 1/10).

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
