After thrashing the visitors with a dominant 211-run win, India women will continue to advance in the three-match ODI series against West Indies women. The 2nd ODI match will take place at Reliance Stadium Vadodara on December 24 at 1:30 PM IST.
India Women
India swept off the T20I series against West Indies earlier this month with a 2-1 lead and rode on that momentum to obliterate the visitors in the first ODI by a massive 211 runs. Smriti Mandhana's stellar knock that failed to convert in a ton by a whisker was a massive boost for the 314-run total that India put on the board. The Women In Blue would like to repeat those shining knocks and the shattering of stumps in the second ODI and book the series early.
West Indies Women
The dynamic West Indies fell to a dominant Indian side in their first ODI encounter and put a paltry 103 in response to the massive total. Hayley Kristen Matthews and Co. were bowled out within 26.2 overs in front of Renuka Singh Thakur who scalped 5 wickets in the match to stun the Windies Women. Nevertheless, the visitors will aim to fight back and level the series in the second encounter before it gets too late.

How Will The Reliance Stadium Pitch Behave?
At the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara, slower bowlers are expected to thrive during the middle overs, while fast bowlers can have a strong impact with the new ball. Batters must pace their innings and focus on building partnerships before accelerating towards the end. Given the pitch conditions, the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bat first.
Players To Watch Out For In IN-W vs WI-W 2nd ODI
India Women
Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana has been in scintillating form in her recent encounters and scored half-centuries in all three T20I innings against West Indies and hit a remarkable 105 in an ODI against Australia recently. Her remarkable 91 in the latest ODI marks her as a hot favourite for the upcoming game.
Renuka Singh Thakur

Jemimah Rodrigues
The 24-year-old Jemimah has been an asset to India for the past few matches. Besides her latest 31 off 19, Jemimah displayed consistent grit against West Windies in the T20I series as well with her blistering 73 off 35 balls.
West Indies Women
Deandra Dottin
Though Deandra Dottin failed against India in the latest clash, the all-rounder has been instrumental in the T20I series where she knocked off 25 runs off 17 balls and racked up a half-ton in the first T20I. She might turn out to be a troublemaker for Harmanpreet and Co. for the upcoming clash.
Hayley Matthews
The West Indies skipper was sent out for a duck by India in the first ODI however, the Barbados-born has played 85 ODIs where she boasts 2454 runs bagging 6 centuries and 6 half-centuries. She racked up an unbeatable 85 in the 2nd T20I against India and might get worked up again for the 2nd ODI.
Afy Fletcher
