NEW DELHI: The win ensured India completed a clean sweep in the three-match ODI series.

Thakur (4/29) and Deepti (6/31) wreaked havoc, sharing 10 wickets between them and crippling the tourists' batting lineup. Thakur's devastating spell with the new ball set the tone early, as her line and length aided by the swing on offer proved too much to handle for West Indies' top order.

The pacer struck with the first delivery of the match, dismissing opener Qiana Joseph for a golden duck, and then removed skipper Hayley Matthews — the previous match's centurion — for another duck. She followed it up with the dismissal of the destructive Deandra Dottin (5) to strengthen India's hold on the game.
