BBC Online :
Hundreds from Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur propelled India to a 155-run victory over West Indies at the Women’s World Cup in Hamilton.
Mandhana’s elegant 123 and a classy 109 from Harmanpreet lifted India to 317-8 – their highest total in the World Cup.
Deandra Dottin clubbed 62 from 46 balls to give West Indies a blistering start.
But after she was caught off the off-spin of Sneh Rana, the Windies faltered, losing all 10 wickets for 62 runs to be bowled out for 162.
It is West Indies’ first defeat, following surprise wins over hosts New Zealand and England in their opening two matches.
India’s second win from three games lifts them to four points, level with four other teams at the top of the table.
