After whitewashing West Indies in the three-match T20I series, India have gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODIs. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side looked flawless while the visitors have looked undercooked. They have constantly struggled with the bat, resulting in massive 211 and 115-run defeats in the first two ODIs. The credit also goes to the Indian batters, who were given the license to bat aggressively and they ended up smashing 358/5 in the second game.

Batting at three, Harleen Deol scored a century in the last game while openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal registered a half-century each. Additionally, Jemimah Rodrigues smacked 52 runs off 36 deliveries. With the ball, Priya Mishra clinched three while Deepti Sharma and Rawal picked up two each in a complete performance from the hosts.

Meanwhile, Hayley Matthews has once again proved to be the one-woman show so far. The veteran all-rounder scored a century in the second game but barely had any support. That has been West Indies’ biggest issue. Seniors Deandra Dottin and Shemaine Campbelle need to step up and deliver consistently to help the team get back to winning ways.

Pitch Report:

Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara has proved to be a paradise for the batters. Nothing is expected to change in the third game as tons of runs are expected to be scored. Batting under lights will be easier and dew will play a part in the second innings.
