India have taken the series with a game to go. They were never threatened. Ireland though have shown signs of improvement. They will have another shot in the next game. We will be back soon with more cricketing action. Bye bye for now.
Jemimah Rodrigues: I am relieved. I have scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket. The roles usually has been different in the side. I have played more T20 cricket. I tried to play how I used to play in the domestic circuit. I thought I haven't played enough in this format. It took me a while. I usually bat at 5. You keep being patient. You keep hitting the gaps. We had a chat we need to keep batting till the 40th. When I was taking my time, she took the charge. We have played a lot of cricket together if not batting together but that helped.
Smriti Mandhana: We won the toss, chose to bat. I am really happy for everyone. Jemi, Pratika and Harleen got us to 370. I am happy with the efforts of the fielding unit. It is a new partnership with Pratika. She has a mature head on her shoulder. Really happy to have her at the other end. We take the singles and doubles. That has helped us in our three 100 run partnerships. This is a WC year. It is a new bowling unit. But they have been strike bowlers for domestic units. They all have the variations. It is a blessing to have them in the side.
Gaby Lewis:
Harleen Deol: I am happy with my knock. Would have loved a 100. I was thinking of increasing team's total. I just had to hit. I didn't get the elevation and got out. Me and Jemi know our strengths.
18:42 Local Time, 13:12 GMT, 18:42 IST: India take a 2-0 lead. They didn't have to flex their muscles much.
