IND-W Vs WI-W, 3rd T20I: Ghosh, Mandhana Help India Defeat West Indies By 60 Runs, Win Series 2-1

Richa Ghosh smashed a record-equalling fastest fifty while Smriti Mandhana made a graceful fifty to propel India to a 60-run victory over the West Indies in the third and final women's T20I in Navi Mumbai on Thursday (December 19, 2024). Thus India clinched the three-match series 2-1, and it was also the home side's first T20I series win at home since October 2019. Ghosh struck a 21-ball 54 (3x4s, 5x6s) while bringing up her fifty off a mere 18 balls and Mandhana made a robust 77 to power India to their highest ever T20I total of 217 for four. In reply, West Indies crumbled against a mountainous target and crawled to 157/9 in their 20 overs, as left-arm spinner Radha Yadav returned with a four-wicket haul.
