Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar

8:07pm That will be all from us for this game. If you missed out on any of the action, Shashank's report is your place to be. We will be back again with the second ODI on Tuesday, and until then, this is goodbye from Chandan, Shashank and myself. Take care, everyone!

Renuka Singh speaks again after receiving the Player of the Match award: She (Harmanpreet) was asking me if I wanted to bowl again. I was getting a wicket off the last ball, so my confidence was up (to keep on going). We did spot bowling yesterday. In ODIs, it depends on how many balls you can land in the same spot. I spoke to Jhulan (Goswami) di, and she told me the more balls I pitch in the same area, the more wickets I will get. It is difficult (switching between formats) for bowlers. The practice before the game is important because the way we practice is usually the way we execute (in matches).

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain: Should give credit to my physio team, have been struggling with my knee for the past few months. Thanks to the trainer, he has been working really hard and credit goes to our fielding coach as well for also helping me (through that period). The way Smriti is batting, that is outstanding to watch. It is looking really easy but trust me, it is not easy. Renuka has been bowling well for so many years but today was special for her (getting five wickets). Fielding is something we have been talking about, and good to see the way we are fielding in the last series and tonight - really happy with the approach. Whenever we play in India, that is something we enjoy. Facilities are amazing. Beautiful grounds and beautiful pitches to play, and really happy (with the BCCI and their arrangements).

Hayley Matthews, West Indies captain: (What went wrong) We probably were not quite on the mark today - all three facets of the game really. Not the brand of cricket we want to play, and we have to improve moving forward. Just getting back to the training part and being hungrier in things that we do. We were not consistent with the ball and in the field. You are going to have bad days but we need to try to avoid that as much as possible and not make it a habit. We felt we could keep them to 270-280 at one point as well, and they did not get very far away.

Here's Sampath with some more stats: 211 is India's second biggest win by runs in women's ODIs, behind the 249-run win against Ireland in 2017. The biggest defeat by runs for West Indies in women's ODIs

Renuka Singh: Feeling very good. First five-wicket haul in ODIs and I am happy because everyone backed me so much (to get that five-wicket haul). I have worked a lot on my fitness and hence could bowl eight overs on the trot, and that proves my fitness. (On which wicket she liked the most) The Dottin wicket. It was a very good ball and to dismiss a batter like her, it feels nice. (On the swing she was getting) The wicket was helping us, the weather got colder. I wanted to hit the right areas and I got assistance (from the pitch).

7:37pm Clinical with a capital P. That was what this performance was from India. They piled on a mountain of runs and then, their bowlers simply ran through the visiting batting line-up. Renuka was the star of the show with the ball, bagging her maiden five-wicket haul. Sadhu also did her bit picking up a wicket with the new ball, before Mishra and Deepti wrapped things up towards the end.

A day and evening to forget for West Indies. Their innings got off to the worst possible start, with Joseph being run out for a diamond duck. Matthews fell soon after and Dottin perished to an ungainly hack, leaving them tottering at 11-3. They could not recover and were eventually rolled over for 103, with Fletcher and Campbelle the only batters crossing the 20-run mark.

Priya Mishra to Connell, OUT, goes straight up, and that will be that! The annihilation is complete, and India have obliterated West Indies by 211 runs - their biggest win over them in terms of runs in a women's ODI! Fizzed through full, just outside off. Drifts in enough before gripping and spinning away. Connell, trying to tug it to leg, gets a tame leading edge and Rodrigues snares the chance at extra cover to put West Indies out of their misery!

Priya Mishra to Connell, no run, length outside off. Connell has a wild swish at it and misses. Ghosh takes off the bails and asks the square leg umpire about the stumping. And as it happens so often, that is the umpire's cue to go upstairs. Might not be much in this. Nothing at all. Foot firmly behind the crease and on the ground

END OF OVER:
26 | 10 Runs | WI-W: 103/9 (212 runs required from 24 overs, RR: 3.96, RRR: 8.83)
