Vadodara International Cricket Stadium: Smriti Mandhana’s 91-run knock alongside Renuka Singh’s first five-wicket haul in the format powered India women to a dominating 211-run victory over West Indie in the first ODI at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Asked to bat first, India got off to a flying start as vice-captain Mandhana and debutant Pratika Rawal stitched up a 110-run partnership to put the hosts on the front foot before the latter was caught and bowled by Hayley Matthews. Rawal, who was not quick enough ended up poking the ball in the air which was brilliantly caught by the spinner.
