Mathews century in vain as Windies Women defeated in 2nd ODI by India
West Indies Women, despite a resolute century by captain Hayley Mathews, suffered a massive 115-run defeat in the second and penultimate game of the three-match One Day International series against India in Vadodara.
Mathews, batting at the top of the order, hit 13 boundaries on her way to a majestic 106 off 109 balls, however her efforts proved insufficient as the Windies chasing an improbable 359 were bowled out for 243 in 46.2 overs.
The Barbadian also shared in a fifth-wicket stand of 112 with Shemaine Campbelle who added 38. Zaida James 25 and Afy Fletcher 22 were the next best batters while Priya Mishra took 3 for 49 to lead the Indian bowling attack.
Earlier India winning the toss and electing to bat piled up an intimidating 358 for 5 from their allotted 50 overs.
They were led by Harleen Deol who slammed 115 off 103 balls, inclusive of 16 fours, while sharing in a 4th wicket partnership of 116 with Jemimah Rodrigues who bladed 52 not out from 36 deliveries.
Also among the runs for India were openers Pratika Rawal who made 76 and Smriti Mandhana who added 53, while partnering in a first wicket stand of 110.
Bowling for West Indies Deandra Dottin, Zaida James, Afy Fletcher and Qiana Joseph ended with a wicket each.
India with the result took an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
The third and final game will be played on Thursday.
