“The way Yastika started that gave me a lot of confidence and after we lost three wickets I had to put on a brake and really happy with the way Harry (Harmanpreet) played as well. We did not get a good start in the last game and we discussed about that and momentum is very crucial and that’s what Yastika did, taking on the bowlers from the start,” said Smriti Mandhana.

“I would say this is among my top three knocks. After last game we really want to come back strong and considering the situation, I would rate this knock a bit higher (among her five ODI tons),” she added.
For West Indies, Anisa Mohammed scalped two wickets while Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell, Deandra Dottin, and Aaliyah Alleyne took one apiece.
