The West Indies Women\u2019s cricket team ended their T20 series against India with a 2-1 loss, and team captain Hayley Matthews believes the primary factor behind their defeat was poor execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthews highlighted the need for more discipline in both batting and bowling moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about the loss, Matthews reflected, \u201cIt probably came down to execution. We needed to be more disciplined with the ball and build more pressure on the Indian batsmen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series provided valuable lessons for the team, and Matthews emphasized how important it would be for their upcoming fixtures: \u201cWe were disciplined in parts, but we need to carry that through to the ODI series as well,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Thursday’s match, the West Indies won the toss and put India to bat first. However, they struggled to contain India\u2019s top-order as the Indian team posted a formidable total of 217\/4 in their 20 overs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smriti Mandhana led the charge with a blazing 77 from 47 balls, while Jemimah Rodrigues (39) and Raghvi Bist (31) provided strong support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richa Ghosh came in late and hit a quick-fire 54 from just 21 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the West Indies batters fell short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinelle Henry was the standout performer with a rapid 43 from 16 balls, including four sixes and three fours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, key players like Matthews (22), Deandra Dottin (25), and Shemaine Campbelle (17) got starts but failed to convert, leaving the team at 157\/9 after their 20 overs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian bowler Radha Yadav was the star of the match, taking 4 wickets for 29 runs to seal India\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Indies team will need to address their execution and discipline as they prepare for their next challenge in the upcoming ODI series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
