Jemimah Rodrigues played a crucial role in India's victory over West Indies in a warm-up match ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup. Rodrigues scored a steady 52 runs off 40 balls, including five boundaries, to help India post a respectable total of 141 for 8 in their 20 overs. Yastika Bhatia also contributed with a handy 24 runs off 25 balls, while Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma made useful contributions as well.
In response, West Indies could only manage 121 for 8 in their 20 overs, falling short of India's total by 20 runs. Chinelle Henry top-scored for West Indies with an unbeaten 59 runs off 48 balls, but she lacked support from her teammates. Shemaine Campbelle and Afy Fletcher tried to stabilize the innings, but they were unable to see their team through.
India's bowlers performed well, with Pooja Vastrakar taking three wickets and Deepti Sharma claiming two. Renuka Singh, Asha Sobhana, and Radha Yadav also chipped in with a wicket each. For West Indies, skipper Hayley Matthews was the standout bowler, taking four wickets for 17 runs in her four overs.
The T20 World Cup is set to begin on October 3, with India taking on New Zealand in their opening match on October 4. India will be hoping to carry their winning momentum from the warm-up game into the tournament.
