Smriti Mandhana (34, 23 balls) started on a promising note and Jemimah Rodriguez (26, 26 balls) also got set but couldn't convert into a big score on a slow Sir Vivian Richards Stadium track.

India's biggest hope skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (16, 20 balls) hit a six but spinners Kirstie Gordon (2/20), Heather Knight (3/9) and Sophie Ecclestone (2/22) ran through middle and lower order with seven players failing to reach double figures.
