What happened in the India Women's T20 World Cup warm-up matches?
The Indian team performed with the bat first, posting a respectable total of 179/8 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Sunday before dismissing the Caribbean side for 153/8 in 20 overs.
Playing without four key members of their first-choice lineup, the Indian team still held its own against the Windies. Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Nandini Sharma, and Arundhati Reddy were all absent, making India's total a particularly positive sign.
Bharti Fulmali delivered a vital lower-order contribution, finishing unbeaten on 56 off 40 balls to push India toward a competitive total in the final overs. And while the West Indies were kept in contention by Deandra Dottin, who top-scored with 49 off 44 balls, Radha Yadav and Shreyanka Patil proved the difference as they picked three and four wickets respectively.
