Indian team will enter the second match with the intention of winning.

The second match of the three-match T20 series between India and West Indies will be played on Tuesday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. In the first match, India had registered a resounding win by 49 runs and now the team will be eyeing an unassailable lead in the series.

First match: Indian team made a strong start

In the first match played on Sunday, the Indian women’s team performed well and took a 1-0 lead in the series. Both batsmen and bowlers had important contributions in India’s victory. However, the team needs to improve its fielding management.

Fielding needs improvement

In the first match, Indian players dropped many catches, which gave West Indies a chance to score runs.

• Saima Thakor dropped the catch of Kiana Joseph (49) when she was playing on 34 runs.
• Jemimah Rodrigues and Smriti Mandhana also dropped the catch of Diandra Dottin (52).

However, substitute player Minu Mani proved his worth by performing well. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was out of the field while fielding.

Expectations from Mandhana and Jemima in batting

Indian batsmen performed well in the first match.

1. Smriti Mandhana played an inning of 54 runs, in which she hit 7 fours and 2 sixes.
2. Jemimah Rodrigues scored 73 runs in just 35 balls, which included 9 fours and 2 sixes. His strike rate was 208.57.
3. Uma Chhetri also put the team in a strong position by scoring 24 runs.

In the second T20, the Indian team will once again expect strong performance from these players.
