Highlights, India vs West Indies, T20 World Cup 2023, Full Cricket Score: India win by six wickets to make it two-in-two

21:47 (IST)

That brings us to the end of our coverage of India's second game of the 2023 T20 World Cup, with the Women in Blue pulling off another successful chase to make it two-in-two. Major worry for the West Indians, not just over Stafanie Taylor's availability for the remainder of the tournament after getting stretchered off today but also over their current form — they have not won a game for 15 matches now!

A big thank you to everyone who tuned in to our live coverage. This is Amit signing off, bidding you all good night!

Deepti Sharma (3/15) is the Player of the Match!

Deepti: I feel really good. What we discussed in the team meeting, I had plans for the West Indies players and followed those plans. I am focussing on the remaining matches of the World Cup. I think it’s a good, slightly turning wicket, and that’s helped me a lot.

OUT! Kaur departs with India on the cusp of a second win on the trot! Decides to play a lofted inside out shot but doesn't get the distance, and two fielders nearly collide near deep cover, with Shemaine Campbell ultimately latching on to the ball.

After 17 overs,West Indies Women 100/4 ( Chedean Nation 13 , Shabika Gajnabi 7)

Big over for the Indians, in which Ghosh brings the equation down to single figures with two boundaries in three balls off Gajnabi's bowling. The West Indians decide to review after an unsuccessful caught-behind appeal — while UltraEdge confirms a nick, there is doubt over whether keeper Williams collected the catch cleanly or not, resulting in the decision going the batter's way. A single off each of the last two balls, with India needing 4 to win off 18 balls!

After 15 overs,India Women 98/3 ( Harmanpreet Kaur (C) 31 , Richa Ghosh (W) 25)

The fifty partnership comes up between Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh for the third wicket, and this could very well be the stand that seals the game in favour of the Women in Blue unless the Windies are able to conjure up a miracle in the business end of the match. Skipper Kaur brings up the milestone with a brace at the start of the 15th over, bowled by her opposite number Matthews.

After 8 overs,India Women 44/3 ( Harmanpreet Kaur (C) 2 , Richa Ghosh (W) 1)

Stafanie Taylor is being stretchered off the field at the end of the eighth over after appearing to have picked up an injury, and it looks like she will be watching the remainder of the game from the sidelines. West Indies, meanwhile, have clawed back in the game impressively., and will look to build pressure on the Women in Blue. Wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh, meanwhile, joins skipper Harmanpreet Kaur at the centre.
