Indian women thrash WI in final WC warm-up tie

Smriti Mandhana

India will enter the ICC Women's World Cup with their tails up after opener Smriti Mandhana's (in pic) 67-ball 66 and the bowlers' disciplined show powered them to an 81-run win over West Indies in their final warm-up game here on Tuesday.

Kept under observation after taking a blow to her head during the team's first practice match against South Africa on Sunday, the elegant Mandhana was in her element within two days from the injury, laying the foundation for India's challenging total of 258 all out.

In reply, WI were restricted at 177-9 at Rangiora Oval.
