That brings us to the end of the 10th match of the World Cup, with India bouncing back in style from the defeat at the hands of New Zealand with a 155-run hammering of the West Indies to jump to the top of the points table. West Indies will hope to put this defeat behind and focus on their next assignment, which is against Australia on Tuesday in Wellington. India are in action next the following day, against defending champions England at the Bay Oval on Wednesday.
For now, this is Amit signing off, wishing you all a happy weekend.

Mithali Raj: Couldn’t have asked anything better than today’s display. We know the importance of this win, it can help keep us in the tournament knockouts. Everybody knew the importance of today’s game, and it was necessary for everyone to step up. You’ve got to be a little flexible with your plans. Harman and Smriti produced a very sensible and important partnership and even the bowlers did well. It’s good to have youngsters around because me and Jhulan have played for a long time, and cracking jokes in the dressing room keeps you in a good space. What worked for us today, the approach and attitude, and we’d like to be consistent with that.
13:37 (IST)
Stafanie Taylor: I didn’t think we bowled the way we wanted to. I just don’t think we were executing. It’s probably the day. Harman and Smriti batted really well and put us under the pump there, and somehow we couldn’t come back. The start to the chase was brilliant. I don’t think we’ve ever had such a start. I think it was important for one of them to stay on. The batters didn’t capitalise. To chase 300, you needed that start.
13:35 (IST)
With this victory, Team India jump to the top of the World Cup points table with their second win in three games, getting a massive boost in their Net Run Rate (+1.33) to go past Australia.
13:34 (IST)
Smriti Mandhana's (123) adjudged the Player of the Match, but she decides to share the award with fellow centurion Harmanpreet Kaur (109)
Smriti Mandhana: Scoring a century and not being player of the match is something we wouldn’t want. It’s good to share the trophy because we both are good enough contender. We learnt from our mistakes, and that’s something we thought we wouldn’t repeat in this game. Our strengths are really different because she likes spin, and I like pace.
Harmanpreet Kaur: Set batter was there, and in the last game against New Zealand, we were missing that. I was also very confident about my batting and the rhythm was there. And we knew once we settled, the boundaries would come. The understanding because the left-right combination is a great thing to do.
13:26 (IST)
After 40.3 overs,West Indies Women 162/10 ( Shakera Selman 7 , )
OUT! Sneh Rana grabs the final wicket, collecting a catch off her own bowling after a thick edge off Shamilia Connell's bat. India bundle West Indies out for 162 to register a comprehensive 155 run win!
West Indies looked like they were going to give India a serious scare with the century opening stand between Dottin and Matthews in 12 overs, but the batting unit capitulated after Dottin's dismissal, and the side were as good as done by the time Matthews was caught-behind. Solid comeback from the Women in Blue today after getting beaten convincingly by the White Ferns in their previous game.

13:20 (IST)
After 40 overs,West Indies Women 161/9 ( Shakera Selman 6 , Shamilia Connell 0)
Gayakwad bowls her final over with a packed field around Selman — a slip, a short leg and a silly point. Selman continues to block her way through the first five deliveries before collecting a single off the last ball to keep the strike. Shamilia Connell, meanwhile, is yet to get off the mark. India need just one more wicket to complete a comprehensive victory.

West Indies are one wicket away from a disastrous defeat as Nation’s caught napping at the non-striker’s end and is run out for 19 thanks to Deepti’s presence of mind and sharp throw at the non-striker’s end. Two runs and a wicket from Rana’s eighth over.
13:14 (IST)
A testament to her skill and longevity!

13:13 (IST)
OUT! Chedean Nation is caught napping at the non-striker's end after completing a single, with a direct hit by Deepti catching her well short of the crease in the end. Nation was looking for a second, but was too slow in dragging her bat across the crease after being sent back. India are one wicket away from victory now! IND 156/9
Nation run out (Sharma) 19(48)
13:11 (IST)
After 36 overs,West Indies Women 156/8 ( Chedean Nation 19 , Shakera Selman 1)
A run and a wicket from Goswami’s sixth as she finally achieves the milestone the entire nation had been waiting for — becoming the leading all-time wicket-taker in the Women’s World Cup by dismissing Anisa Mohammed in the fifth ball. The day started on a disastrous note for Jhulan, but looks like it will end on a sweet note after all.
13:08 (IST)
OUT! Jhulan Goswami becomes the leading wicket-taker of all time in the ICC Women's World Cup, going past Australia's Lyn Fullston with Anisa Mohammed becoming her 40th wicket!

Mohammed c sub (T Bhatia) b Goswami 2(27)
13:02 (IST)
After 35 overs,West Indies Women 155/7 ( Chedean Nation 19 , Anisa Mohammed 2)
Second maiden for Deepti in her seventh over, as Nation blocks her way through this over. Wonder if the West Indians fancy batting the remaining 15 overs out while preserving their remaining wickets, even if the runs don’t come by.
13:00 (IST)
After 34 overs,West Indies Women 155/7 ( Chedean Nation 19 , Anisa Mohammed 2)
Goswami collects her first maiden of the evening, a welcome progress for the veteran seamer who had leaked 42 runs in her first four overs. Meanwhile, she is one wicket away from becoming the all-time leading wicket-taker in World Cups.
12:59 (IST)
After 33 overs,West Indies Women 155/7 ( Chedean Nation 19 , Anisa Mohammed 2)
Tidy over from Deepti with just two singles coming from it. Nation’s playing a patient knock at the moment, having consumed 42 balls for her 19 so far.
12:53 (IST)
After 32 overs,West Indies Women 153/7 ( Chedean Nation 18 , Anisa Mohammed 1)
Goswami returns, replacing Gayakwad. Single each off the first two balls, before a welcome boundary off Nation’s bat in the fourth delivery brings up the 150 for the West Indians. Nation keeps the strike with a single off the last ball, and will look to keep the strike to herself for the remainder of the innings as much as she can.
12:47 (IST)
After 31 overs,West Indies Women 146/7 ( Chedean Nation 12 , Anisa Mohammed 0)
Nation runs the ball down the ground for a single in the penultimate delivery of Deepti’s fifth over — the first run scored by the West Indies in 26 deliveries! Dot to end the over.
12:44 (IST)
After 30 overs,West Indies Women 145/7 ( Chedean Nation 11 , Anisa Mohammed 0)
Gayakwad continues with a short leg, silly point and a slip in place, starting with a ball that turns away viciously after pitching along off. Mohammed struggles through the over, offering a chance in the fifth delivery with an outside edge that lands between the keeper and the slip fielder. Fourth maiden in five overs for the Indians. West Indies need another 173 to win from 120 balls with three wickets in hand.
12:40 (IST)
After 29 overs,West Indies Women 145/7 ( Chedean Nation 11 , Anisa Mohammed 0)
Deepti Sharma, who endured a torrid first spell when Dottin and Matthews were wreaking havoc earlier in the innings, returns in place of Rana. Bowls out a maiden, the third in the last four overs, with the umpire signalling drinks after the last delivery is bowled. New batter Anisa Mohammed is yet to get off the mark at the moment.
12:37 (IST)
After 28 overs,West Indies Women 145/7 ( Chedean Nation 11 , Anisa Mohammed 0)
Back-to-back maidens for Rajeshwari Gayakwad, who has been superb on the field as well and has so far accounted for a catch and a run out in addition to Henry’s wicket and a couple of maidens.
12:35 (IST)
After 27 overs,West Indies Women 145/7 ( Chedean Nation 11 , Anisa Mohammed 0)
Nation steers the ball behind point in the first delivery, getting enough time to come back for a second. Pushes for another double two balls later, with her partner Alleyne making it to the non-striker’s end in the nick of time thanks to a late throw. Nation pushes for something similar two balls later, and this time Gayakwad’s accurate throw at the non-striker’s end and Rana’s perfect position ensure Alleyne’s run out for 1. West Indies are seven down now, and are all but out of the contest unless Nation’s able to conjure up a miracle.
12:33 (IST)
OUT! Alleyne's run out at the non-striker's end after responding to Nation's call for a risky second run, Was an excellent collect-and-throw by Gayakwad at cover point, and Rana was perfectly positioned for the accurate throw, whipping the bails off with ease. WI 145/7

12:25 (IST)
After 25 overs,West Indies Women 140/6 ( Chedean Nation 6 , Aaliyah Alleyne 4)
Rana returns, replacing Vastrakar, and looks like we might have spin from both ends for a while. The offie bowls with a slip and a wide gully in place, sending down five dots in a row before Nation pinches a brace off the last ball.
12:23 (IST)
After 24 overs,West Indies Women 138/6 ( Chedean Nation 4 , Aaliyah Alleyne 4)
Gayakwad replaces Meghna, and is among the wickets for the first time today with a successful leg-before appeal against Henry in the second delivery. She nearly gets her second in the final ball, as Alleyne gets a thick outside edge that flies between the two slip fielders and goes all the way to third man for a boundary. Four runs and a wicket from the over.
12:20 (IST)
OUT! Wickets are fast tumbling at the moment, with Gayakwad successfully appealing for leg-before against Chinelle Henry now! Henry goes for the review, and gets an umpire's call on both impact and on wickets. West Indies have now lost six wickes for just 34 runs! WI 134/6

Vastrakar replaces Rana after a golden spell from the offie, and she too is among the wickets as Campbelle departs for 11 in the second delivery, thanks to a fine effort by Gayakwad at backward point. Chenille Henry is the new batter at the crease, and she gets going immediately with a brace followed by a boundary off a cover drive. Eight runs and a wicket from the over.
12:13 (IST)
OUT! Superb catch by Rana at backward point as Pooja Vastrakar strikes. Shemaine Campbelle goes for a square drive, but does so in the direction of the fielder. Even then, it takes some effort for Gayakwad to grab the low catch, that too after she misjudged the trajectory of the ball and went a bit far to the right. WI 127/5
Campbelle c Gayakwad b Vastrakar 11(17)
12:10 (IST)
After 22 overs,West Indies Women 126/4 ( Shemaine Campbelle (W) 11 , Chedean Nation 3)
Raj continues with the Rana-Meghna combination for now, the latter getting a sixth over now. Nation slices the ball behind point in the second delivery, collecting an easy single on offer. Campbelle tucks the ball behind square leg two balls later to collect a brace. Three from the over.
12:04 (IST)
After 21 overs,West Indies Women 123/4 ( Shemaine Campbelle (W) 9 , Chedean Nation 2)

After 20 overs,West Indies Women 120/4 ( Shemaine Campbelle (W) 8 , Chedean Nation 0)
FOUR! A morale-boosting boundary for Shemaine Campbelle in the final ball of Meghna’s fifth over as she drives a full delivery down the ground, neither mid off nor mid on able to stop the boundary. Six from the 20th over.
12:00 (IST)
After 19 overs,West Indies Women 114/4 ( Shemaine Campbelle (W) 2 , Chedean Nation 0)
Rana gets Matthews, and India are in the driver’s seat now! That was the key wicket from the Indian perspective, as the in-form opener could’ve triggered a turnaround after waiting for the storm to pass. Just a run and a wicket from Rana’s fourth over.
11:58 (IST)
OUT! Rana snares the key wicket of Matthews, and the opener has her hands on her head after getting a thick outside edge while looking for a square cut. WI 114/4

11:58 (IST)
After 18 overs,West Indies Women 113/3 ( Hayley Matthews 43 , Shemaine Campbelle (W) 1)

11:53 (IST)
OUT! Taylor doesn't last long either, getting caught behind after opting to poke at a delivery that shapes away late, Simplest of catches for Ghosh behind the stumps. WI 112/3

Superb over from Meghna on the other side of the drinks interval, replacing Gayakwad, with just a single and a leg bye being added along with the dismissal of Knight in the second delivery.

11:42 (IST)

After 15 overs,West Indies Women 107/1 ( Hayley Matthews 40 , Kycia Knight 5)
Excellent follow-up from Rana as she collects a maiden after accounting for Dottin’s wicket in the first over. India slowly starting to claw their way back in the game, though they’ll still be wary of Matthews’ presence. Time for the players to have a drink now.
11:35 (IST)
After 14 overs,West Indies Women 107/1 ( Hayley Matthews 40 , Kycia Knight 5)
Change of ends for Rajeshwari Gayakwad as she replaces Vastrakar. Excellent over from the left-arm spinner as she concedes just two singles from it. India will be hoping to build some dot-ball pressure after Dottin's dismissal.
11:34 (IST)
After 13 overs,West Indies Women 105/1 ( Hayley Matthews 39 , Kycia Knight 4)
Sneh Rana’s introduction in place of Gayakwad leads to India’s first wicket as Dottin departs after a quick fire 62. Kycia Knight is the new batter at the crease, and she gets off the mark with a square drive in the penultimate ball that fetches her a boundary. Five runs and a wicket from the over.
11:29 (IST)
OUT! Sneh Rana strikes in her second ball as Dottin gets a thick top-edge while looking for a sweep, with Meghna collecting the catch near short fine. WI 100/1
Dottin c Meghna b Rana 62(46)
11:25 (IST)
After 12 overs,West Indies Women 100/0 ( Deandra Dottin 62 , Hayley Matthews 38)
Pooja Vastrakar replaces Deepti Sharma. FOUR! Absolutely crunched through cover by Dottin in the second delivery, making the most of a short, wide ball. These two batters do love some pace on the ball and are milking runs off the seamers so far. Matthews plays a similar shot in the last delivery, bringing up the century opening stand in the process. 13 from the over. The Indians will be desperate to break this stand now.
11:24 (IST)
FOUR! Solid punch through cover by Hayley Matthews off Pooja Vastrakar, bringing up the century opening stand in just 12 overs in the process! WI 100/0
11:20 (IST)

The fielding restrictions have been eased but the boundaries continue to flow as Dottin works the ball behind square on the leg side to collect her ninth four of the innings.

11:15 (IST)

After 8 overs,West Indies Women 63/0 ( Deandra Dottin 39 , Hayley Matthews 24)
Just when it looked like the spinners were starting to slow things down for the Windies, Dottin charges down the track and lofts the ball over mid off to collect her seventh boundary. Six off Deepti’s second over of the day.
India vs West Indies, Women's World Cup 2022 LIVE score and updates: Sneh Rana grabs the final wicket, collecting a catch off her own bowling after a thick edge off Shamilia Connell's bat. India bundle West Indies out for 162 to register a comprehensive 155 run win!
Preview: India's under-performing top-order will be keen to display way more intent to bring the team's campaign back on track when it squares off against a dangerous West Indies in the third league game of the ICC Women's World Cup on Saturday.
Currently placed fifth after a demoralising 62-run loss to New Zealand, India would like to get back to winning ways as back-to-back defeat can cause loss in momentum, especially when they are playing one game after another on the bounce.
The likes of Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, the young Yastika Bhatia and all-rounder Deepti Sharma were all criticised for not getting a move-on against New Zealand in India's chase of 261 and despite Harmanpreet Kaur's 62-ball-71, the team ended up being outplayed by 62 runs.
It is understood that Shafali Verma, despite her 'blow hot, blow cold' form, will be back in the playing eleven, and would be expected to lend pace to innings, something which Yastika Bhatia failed to do in the previous game.
The Indian batters played out an inexplicable 162 dot balls, equivalent to 27 overs, in the last game against White Ferns and the match was as good as over when they scored only 50 off the first 20 overs.
For West Indies, it has been a good start to the tournament and skipper Taylor would want one more inspirational performance from her band of women, who defended a mediocre total of 225 against defending champions England in the last game.
Taylor's biggest advantage is her multiple bowling options and she was able to use as many as eight bowlers in the last game against England.
While Dottin's airborne catch to dismiss Lauren Winfield-Hill was the highlight of the Windies' show against England, what would make Indians wary is the fact that the Caribbeans have successfully defended twice in two games against the White Ferns and England.
The bowling attack comprising Shamilia Connell, Shakera Selman, Chinelle Henry and Anisa is capable of putting relentless pressure on opposition batters and it won't be a cakewalk for India.
