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)

She went past former Australian women's team captain Belinda Clark, who had captained in 23 matches. So far, Mithali has captained India in 23 World Cup matches, bagging 14 wins, eight wins and one no result.

Mithali Raj will set a new all-time record in the ICC Women's World Cup when India face off against the West Indies in their upcoming match on Saturday. The 39-year-old is one match away from captaining the most matches in ICC Women's Cricket World Cup history.

Mithali has captained India in 23 World Cup matches, bagging 14 wins, eight wins and one no result. Mithali will be hoping to cap the record with a win against the West Indies, with India having lost one match and won one in the ongoing tournament so far.
"Surprised" by the lack of intent shown by the Indian top-order in the loss against New Zealand, head coach Ramesh Powar has urged the team's senior players to take more responsibility starting with the ICC Women's World Cup match against West Indies, on Saturday. The Indian top-order failed to fire once again as the Mithali Raj-led side scored just 50 runs off 20 overs while chasing 261 to eventually suffer a 62-run loss against hosts New Zealand on Thursday. "I think it was one of those days where things didn't go our way and honestly I was also surprised the way we batted 20 overs," Powar said at the virtual pre-match conference on the eve of the team's game against West Indies.
The Indian women's hockey team would look to return to winning ways against a higher-ranked but out-of-touch Germany in the two-legged tie of the FIH Pro League, starting with the first match on Saturday. Playing their debut season in the Pro League, the Indian women made a fine start to their campaign, beating China 7-1 and 2-1 in their opening two games in Muscat. The Indians, ranked ninth in the world, then defeated world number 6 Spain 2-1 at home before slumping to a 3-4 defeat in the return leg last month. But despite the loss, the Indian women are well placed in the FIH Pro League standings as they are currently at the third position with nine points from four games, which includes three wins and a loss.
India's under-performing top-order will be keen to display way more intent to bring the team's campaign back on track when it squares off against a dangerous West Indies in the third league game of the 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.
