West Indies Women’s captain Hayley Matthews beamed with pride as she reflected on her team’s stunning nine-wicket victory over India in the second T20 International at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.
The win not only leveled the three-match series 1-1 but also marked West Indies' first T20I victory over India since the 2016 World Cup—a milestone Matthews believes signals a new chapter for her team.
The West Indies will have to wait a bit longer for their first T20 International series win over India since 2017 after they were defeated by 60 runs in the Thursday’s decisive third T20I at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
India batted first, posting 217-4 from their 20 overs before restricting the West Indians to 157-9 in their 20 overs.
The West Indies Women will next be in action from January 14 to February 1 when they host Bangladesh Women for three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals (T20Is) at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts, Cricket West Indies announced on Friday.
The Bangladesh team will arrive in St. Kitts on 14 January, ahead of the first One-Day International (ODI) scheduled for January 19.
