Having won the first T20I comfortably on Sunday, India Women and Smriti Mandhana faced the wrath of the West Indies Women in the second T20I on Tuesday.
The Windies secured a nine-wicket win chasing 160 and achieved it with 28 deliveries to spare to level the series with one to go on Thursday. 

Mandhana admitted to not bowling according to plans, “I felt that the execution as a team, as a bowling unit, could have been better. We just put our hands up and take it [the defeat]. We tried everything to stop them but Hayley is definitely a quality player. As a bowling unit, our execution could have been better and the only way we could have got them out was by applying pressure by bowling dot balls. We couldn’t do that and the pressure was never there. We did give a lot of width. We’ll work on things that we could not do right and come back stronger in the final game.”
