ICC Women's World Cup, India vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score, Live Updates: India 3 Down After Bright Start, Smriti Mandhana Looking Solid

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)

Mithali Raj at the toss, "We will have a bat, it's the same strip we played the other day, it could slow down in the second half and that's why we chose to bat. We are looking forward to put total that we can defend. We need to improve as a batting unit and it's a fresh start today. We know the wicket is the same from our last game and it's on the slower side. Same team for us."
