Contrary to the first T20I on Sunday, the West Indies women were better on Tuesday, bowling a disciplined line and length. Their smartness in the initial overs was largely responsible in restricting India to 159-9 in the second T20I after being asked to bat at DY Patil Stadium. 

This change in approach rubbed off on their batters who raced to 65-0 in the Powerplay. Led by captain and opener Hayley Matthews’s unbeaten 85 (47b, 17x4), the visitors won by nine wickets to level the series 1-1 with everything to play for in the decider on Thursday.
