India Women vs West Indies Women cricket records and stats

India Women vs West Indies Women in T20Is

Highest team total: India Women posted 185/4 in the first T20I of the West Indies tour in November 2019. Openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana scored half-centuries as the visitors cruised to a convincing 84-run victory.

Lowest team total: Opting to bat first in the third T20I of the India Women tour of West Indies 2019, the hosts were restricted to 59/9 courtesy of some disciplined bowling by the Indians. The Harmanpreet Kaur-captained Indian side won the match by seven wickets.

Highest individual score: In the opening T20I of the Carribean team’s Indian tour of 2016, the Windies skipper Stafanie Taylor played a fantastic knock of 90 off 51 balls to help her side win the clash by six wickets.

Best bowling figures: India all-rounder Deepti Sharma has the best bowling figures by an Indian woman in T20Is against West Indies. The right-arm off-break bowler recorded 4/10 in the second T20I of the 2019 series away from home, to guide her side to a lopsided 10-wicket win.

Highest partnership: In the same match where India Women recorded their highest team total against West Indies in T20Is, Shafali Verma (73) and Smriti Mandhana (67) stitched an opening stand of 143 runs, which also remains the highest partnership for India Women against any opposition in T20 cricket.
