Hayley Matthews continued West Indies women's impressive outing in the field in the ongoing Women's World Cup as she took a breathtaking one-handed catch at first slip off Anisa Mohammed's bowling to help her team dismiss India batter Deepti Sharma on Saturday.

India Women vs West Indies Women, ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, Live Score Updates: After a solid start from openers Smriti Mandhana and Yastika Bhatia, India are suddenly on the back foot with three quick wickets. Post Bhatia's wicket, skipper Mithali Raj and Deepti Sharma have also departed after Raj won the toss earlier and elected to bat against Stafanie Taylor-led West Indies in Match 10 of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup at the Seddon Park in Hamilton, on Saturday. Mithali has gone in with the same team, which means youngster Shefali Verma will warm the bench again. India will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways after losing their second league stage fixture to New Zealand by a huge margin, after defeating Pakistan in their opener. India had a poor batting display against the White Ferns, losing by 62 runs. The likes of Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma will be hoping to improve their performance in the next match. Meanwhile, West Indies have won both their matches, registering wins against New Zealand and England. With two points at stake, both sides will be aiming for a win in Hamilton. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Women's World Cup: Indian batters need to raise their game against West Indies
ICC Women's World Cup here on Saturday. Currently placed fifth after a demoralising 62-run loss to New Zealand, India would like to get back to winning ways as back-to-back defeat can cause loss in momentum, especially when they are playing one game after another on the bounce. The likes of Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, the young Yastika Bhatia and all-rounder Deepti Sharma were all criticised for not getting a move-on against New Zealand in India's chase of 261 and despite Harmanpreet Kaur's 62-ball-71, the team ended up being outplayed by 62 runs.
