India's dominance over West Indies on the Caribbean soil continued as the Women in Blue white washed the hosts 5-0 in the T20 series. After winning the ODI series 2-1 and leading the T20 series 2-0, Harmanpreet Kaur and co. stamped their authority by clinching the T20 series clinically.
The third T20 was a lopsided affair as India chased down a paltry target of 60, winning the match by seven wiockets. Riding on Jemimah Rodrigues' unbeaten innings of 40, India took an unassailable lead of 3-0.
The fourth T20 was like a trailer of a three hour movie as the game was reduced to nine overs a side due to rains. India set a target of 51 for West Indies. Hayleyt Mattews was the pick of the bowlers as she struck with 3-13 in her two overs. For India, it was Anuja Patil who tuned around the match for her with scalping 2-8 in her two overs. In the end, it was a nail biting finish as India managed to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat winning the match by just five runs.
The fifth and final T20 was no different as India with its strong artillery of quality batters and bowlers continued to dominate West Indies. Twin half centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues (50) and Veda Krishnamurthy (57 not out) helped India post a respectable total of 134-3 in 20 overs on board. In reply, West Indies dwindled down to 73-7 losing the dead rubber by 61 runs. It was Anuja Patil again who wrecked havoc as she picked up 2-3 in her three overs.
A strong batting performance coupled with an equally powerful bowling display, India clinically clinched the T20 series 5-0.
