After starting the series with a dominant win, India Women face hosts West Indies Women at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground, Gros Islet, in the second game of their five-match WT20i series. The series continues on November 10, with the live action getting underway at 13:30 local time.
Teenaged opener Shafali Verma and fit-again Smriti Mandhana were the stars of India’s dominant opening victory, sharing an opening partnership of 143 – a new national WT20i record – in a total of 185/4.
West Indies were hampered by Stafanie Taylor withdrawing ahead of the toss through injury, and they sorely missed their in-form star all-rounder as they posted just 101/9 in reply.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WIW Team News
Aaliya Alleyne made her WT20i debut last time out but the absence of injured captain and star all-rounder Stafanie Taylor due to injury will be of bigger concern for the West Indies. While details of her injury have not been revealed, the short turnaround between the opening two games could mean she misses out again.
WIW Key Players
Hayley Matthews: Wicketless in the first match and out for 13 at the top of the order, she needs to step up in Taylor’s absence as the only player in this squad realistically close to the captain’s capabilities with bat and ball.
Afy Fletcher: Another to go wicketless last time out, but she did was tidy throughout the series with Australia that preceded this one and picked up useful wickets too.
Anisa Mohammed: The stand-in captain was the bowling star of West Indies’ only win in the ODI series and she started this WT20i series with figures of 2-35 to help them peg India back at the end of the innings.
WIW Team Form
Defeat in the opening game of this series, in which they got nowhere near India’s total of 185/4 – limping to just 101/9 from their 20 overs in reply – was West Indies’ fifth WT20i defeat in a row. They also suffered defeats to England and Australia.

India have no such injury concerns now Smriti Mandhana is back from injury and back in top form. They could be unchanged, having generally been consistent with the line-up selected for the first game of this series.
INDW Key Players
Smriti Mandhana: Scored 67 from 46 balls at the top of the order to claim her tenth WT20i half-century, and her second half-century in back-to-back games (one WODI, one WT20i) since her return from injury.
Shafali Verma: The teenage opener is hard to ignore after her brutal 73 from 49 balls at the top of the order, including six fours and four sixes. Her first WT20i half-century takes her to 137 runs in her first five innings for India.
Deepti Sharma: In excellent bowling form in both white-ball formats, starting this series with 1-15 – including a wicket-maiden – to add to the six wickets she claimed against South Africa.
INDW Team Form
Though they won the series against South Africa that preceded this one, India actually lost their final game so they needed to get back to winning ways last time out. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana led the way with their excellent partnership at the top of the order. The total of 185/4 proved far too much for West Indies, as Poonam Yadav (2-24), Radha Yadav (2-10) and Shikha Pandey (2-22) helped restrict the hosts to just 101/9 in reply.
