Put into bat, Indian openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma (29) gave the team a brisk start, setting the tone for the innings.
In the first few overs, the West Indies bowlers struggled to find the right line and length. They strayed onto the leg side too often and Mandhana, especially, was quick to punish them. The southpaw, captaining the side on Monday, struck eight fours for a quick 39 off 23 balls.
Aaliyah Alleyne snapped the 59-run opening stand as she had Mandhana mistime a shot to mid-on. India posted 70-1 in powerplay and continued in that vein despite losing three quick wickets.
Yastika Bhatia and Bharti Fulmalli helped India recover from the wobble with a 60-run partnership for the fourth wicket. The former had compiled a confident 36 off 26 when the team management retired her out, in an effort to give more match time to players down the order.
