MOHALI: India find themselves in a do-or-die situation as they take on formidable West Indies in a group match of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 at the IS Bindra stadium here tomorrow.
Both India and West Indies come into this match after having tasted defeats at the hands of England at Dharamsala.
Among the two teams, worries would be more on Indian women’s plate as their batters let them down in their previous game, while West Indies lost narrowly.
In Group B, England women lead the points table with three wins from as many matches. India have won just one against Bangladesh, which was a convincing one, but lost to Pakistan by just two runs via Duckworth/Lewis method and suffered another loss to England.
West Indies eves have two wins from three encounters, one against Pakistan and another one against Bangladesh. Pakistan have two wins from three games while Bangladesh have lost all four matches.
India are wary of the situation as they need a massive victory to improve the net run rate and then depend on the outcome of other matches to harbour semifinal hopes.
A defeat tomorrow would throw the home team out of the competition and the Mithali Raj-led side would hope to put their best foot forward against the West Indies eves.(Agencies)
