4.26pm So, West Indies end on 118 for 6. You'd think that is a bit under-par, especially against this Indian batting unit. There are a few cracks and the surface is keeping a tad low, so you never know. India made up for their errors in the field, with some excellent bowling. Pooja Vastrakar struck with her first ball of the day before the spinners came into their own. Deepti Sharma led the way with 3 for 15 off her four overs. In the process, she also became the highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is and also completed 100 T20I wickets. Can WI defend this total? Join Vishal to find out.

Here's Stafanie Taylor: Nice to be back and get some runs. Wished I was there till the end. It's not a total we wanted. We wanted to get 140+ against this Indian side. Hopefully, we defend it. [Bowling] I am not there as yet. Before the tournament ends, hopefully. I am feeling much better today, hence I could go on a bit longer. The conditions will not change much. The pitch is very good, and hope we can defend this.

Akshay: "Deepti Sharma, take a bow!"

Milind: "Shikha Pandey for Radha Yadav will make more difference in the bowling…that awkward bounce from SA pitches helps seamers at the death overs."
