India vs West Indies Women Cricket Live Score, 1st T20I (India Women National Cricket Team vs West Indies Women National Cricket Team Match Scorecard):
Hello and welcome to our coverage of the first T20I between India Women and the West Indies Women’s Team taking place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday.
The West Indies have won the toss and chose to field first. The Indian skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur has also revealed that Saima Thakor would be making her T20I debut as well.
The Indian team will look to make the most of the available talent as they have to make do without some of their key players. West Indies on the other hand will hope to start off the T20I series on a positive note.
The visitors do not have Stephanie Taylor due to injury but the rest of the squad or more or less the same as the one that took part in the World Cup.
India will hope to take advantage of the home conditions to return to winning ways after a crushing whitewash during their tour of Australia earlier, this month.
