    India's skipper Harmanpreet Kaur: "We discussed about Deepti Sharma's bowling in the team meeting. She was not happy with what she did but she got the result today.

    "I think Smriti Mandhana has been great for us and someone who is great. She is doing well and we're happy she is back. She's a dangerous batter.

    "I think we are happy with the result and now the next game is really important."

    West Indies vice-captain Shemaine Campbelle: "We didn't get as many runs as we were looking for. We thought 150 would be a good fighting total for us today.

    "We need at least one of the top three to bat through to the end to get the runs we are looking for."

    On Karishma Ramharack's performance: "She has been bowling pretty good for a while. We just want her to continue, keep expressing herself and contributing to the team."

    On becoming the first India player to reach 100 T20 wickets: "That's a milestone and I'm happy but I am focusing on the remaining matches of the World Cup and I'll focus on whatever I can do for the team

    On the wicket: "It's a slightly turning wicket which helps a lot. So I'm focusing on bowling stump to stump and that helps me a lot."

    Deepti Sharma is the player of the match. She took 3-15.

    She's now the leading wicket-taker for India in T20s.

    So then, India have joined England at the top of the Group B table, with England still well ahead on run rate.

    Take a look at the full table here.

    India are warming up as they go through the group stages.

    They made it look difficult against Pakistan and there was a little moment where they lost three wickets and it looked like West Indies might get back into it but the injury to Stafanie Taylor ended that.

    The tournament is starting to look cruel for West Indies.

    Not bad from Chinelle Henry.

    Four dots. India still need four more to win.

    Nope she does not. Matthews limps off the field and West Indies are now without their captain.

    Hayley Matthews doesn't look entirely comfortable. This is not good news for West Indies at all, especially with Stafanie Taylor going off earlier.

    They are their two best batters and they are going to need them to improve their net run-rate.

    They will not want to go home with no wins. That would probably prompt another review.

    Chinelle Henry stays in the attack.

    That is definitely not what West Indies need. She is hobbling.

    Oh no! West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews is down clutching her knee after diving in the field.

    India are nearly there. Four runs needed from the last three overs.
