India continue domination over WI women, win 4th T20 by 5 runs

The series already in their pocket, India women continued their domination over the West Indies women by notching up a five-run win in the rain-truncated fourth T20 International here. India women now lead the five-match series 4-0 after sealing the series in the third game here. In the rain-marred fourth T20 International which was reduced to a nine-over-a-side affair, India women made 50 for the loss of seven wickets after being sent into bat.

Only Indian to reach a double-digit score

Hayley Mathews (3/13) scalped three wickets for the hosts, while Afy Fletcher (2/2) and Sheneta Grimmond (2/10) picked up two wickets apiece. The Indians then bowled and fielded with the discipline to restrict the West Indies women to 45 for five in their nine overs.
