India inflicted a crushing 211-run defeat on West Indies following a stellar batting display backed by a five-for from pacer Renuka Singh as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the three-match women’s ODI series here Sunday.

India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana struck her fourth consecutive half-century and shared a 110-run opening-wicket partnership with debutant Pratika Rawal (40) as the home team made a formidable 314/9.

The bowlers, led by pacer Renuka Singh (5/29), bundled out the West Indies for 103 runs in 26.2 overs.

Continuing her sublime form from the T201s, where she scored three successive half-centuries in India’s 2-1 series triumph at Navi Mumbai, Mandhana smashed 91 off 102 balls, studded with 13 boundaries, even as West Indies pressed a total of seven bowlers to contain the on-song opener.

Off-spinner Rawal made her ODI debut with a polished 40 runs off 69 deliveries. Harleen Deol (44) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (34) then stitched together a 66-run stand before Jemimah Rodrigues scored a quick-fire 31.

West Indies left-arm spinner Zaida James took five wickets for 45 runs.
