As India chosen to bat, they got off to a awful begin when; Shafali Verma was bowled for a duck by Chinelle Henry. Deepti Sharma joined Mandhana within the center, and the two set approximately modifying; the innings with a association that was broken after the two ingenious combatants contribute; 117 runs for the moment wicket at about six runs per over.

Some time recently being expelled by Cherry-Ann Fraser off her possess bowling; Mandhana scored 66 runs in 67 balls, hitting seven fours within the process.
