After a crushing 62-run defeat to hosts New Zealand, India`s search for batting returns continues when they take on an undefeated West Indies in their third league match of ICC Women`s Cricket World Cup at Seddon Park on Saturday. In both matches, India`s top-order batting hasn`t fired, resulting in lack of urgency in the first 10 overs.
Now at fifth place in the points table, India need to get their wrongs right with matches against defending champions England and six-time winners Australia coming in the upcoming week. But it is easier said that done as West Indies have been the surprise giant killers of the tournament, defeating New Zealand and England by three and seven runs respectively in their first two matches.
