He notes the straight boundary measures 69 meters, the square boundaries are 58 meters, and behind square is 52 meters. He further adds that the pitch appears drier with less grass, but it should still favor the batters, similar to the previous match.

The pitch appears drier with less grass, but it should still favor the batters, similar to the previous match. However, success for bowlers lies in sticking to a stump-to-stump line, as demonstrated by West Indies’ young spinner Zaida James, who was exceptional. Later in the evening, Renuka Thakur impressed with her mastery of swing and seam, delivering precise lengths and lines to bamboozle the batters.

In the first ODI, India Women secured a convincing victory with a clinical display in all departments. Batting first, the Indian lineup posted a challenging total of 314 for 9, courtesy of Smriti Mandhana’s score of 91 runs off 102 balls.

The West Indies Women, in reply, were bundled out for 103 in 26.2 overs, with their top scorer being Afy Fletcher, who managed 24 runs off 22 balls from the lower order. Indian pacer Renuka Singh was the star with the ball, claiming 5 wickets for just 44 runs. Statistically, India dominated with a higher strike rate, better economy in bowling, and tighter fielding, setting the tone for the series.
As we gear up for the second ODI, expect an engaging battle of skills and strategies. Both teams have their strengths, and the pitch conditions promise a contest favoring batters initially before spinners take charge. Let’s see which side emerges victorious and takes a step closer to claiming the series! Stay tuned for the Toss and other pre match updates.
West Indies Women, on the other hand, will be keen to bounce back and level the series. Their batting lineup, led by Hayley Matthews, needs stronger partnerships at the top to counter India’s potent attack. Rashada Williams and Shemaine Campbelle will need to anchor the innings in the middle overs and capitalise on loose deliveries. The bowling unit must focus on early breakthroughs, particularly targeting India’s in-form openers. Additionally, the fielding woes that plagued their performance, with lapses in both ground fielding and catching proving costly, need addressing. With conditions likely to be warm and humid, and the pitch offering turn, the West Indies spinners have a crucial role to play. If they can exploit the conditions and restrict India to a par score, their chances of staying alive in the series improve significantly.
Looking ahead to the second ODI, India Women will aim to build on their momentum. The team’s batting unit looks in fine form, with Smriti Mandhana leading the charge. Expect the middle order, led by Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur, to continue their steady contributions. The bowling attack, spearheaded by Renuka Singh and supported by spinners like Priya Mishra, will look to maintain their discipline. On the fielding front, India will want to tighten their grip further, minimising extras and converting half-chances into wickets. With the pitch at the venue expected to assist spinners as the game progresses, India’s slow bowlers could once again play a decisive role.
Hello and welcome to the second ODI of the series between India Women and West Indies Women! After an intriguing opening game showcasing impressive individual performances and tactical battles, all eyes are now on the teams as they prepare to lock horns again. The first international game at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara was memorable for the hosts, as they registered their second-largest win in ODIs in terms of runs. Let’s take a quick review of the first ODI before diving into the expectations for the second game.
The second ODI of the three-match series between India Women and West Indies Women is upon us, and all eyes will be on how the visitors respond. After suffering a crushing defeat in the series opener, the West Indies Women will be eager for a quick turnaround to keep the series alive, much like they managed in the T20I series. The first international game at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara was a memorable one for the hosts, as they registered their second-largest win in ODIs in terms of runs. After being inserted into bat, Smriti Mandhana’s 91 and contributions from the rest took India to 314 before Renuka Singh Thakur’s maiden ODI five-wicket haul skittled the hosts to complete a 211-run win. Despite the commanding win, India will feel they left some runs on the table, with five batters getting starts but failing to convert into substantial scores. As far as the West Indies are concerned, fielding woes plagued their performance, with lapses in both ground fielding and catching proving costly. The experienced duo of Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin have contributed in both departments so far, but their batting needs to step up if the visitors are to stage a comeback in this crucial game. Despite a tough outing for the West Indies’ bowling unit in the first ODI, Zaida James was a standout performer, claiming her maiden ODI five-wicket haul. However, it will require a collective effort from the likes of Karishma Ramharack, Afy Fletcher, and Aaliyah Alleyne to keep the hosts in check. Will the Women in Maroon rise to the occasion and level the series, or will India deliver another dominant performance to seal the series? We shall find out.
