video scorecard | video highlights
3 – India women completed a comfortable 3-0 whitewash in their ODI series against West Indies, after a dominant bowling display in Vadodara.
5 – India have now come out on top in five of the six bilateral ODI series played between the sides:
- IND 5-0 WI in India, 2004
- IND 3-2 WI in India, 2011
- WI 2-1 IND in West Indies, 2012
- IND 3-0 WI in India, 2016
- IND 2-1 WI in West Indies, 2019
- IND 3-0 WI in India, 2024
14 – The series result leaves West Indies on fourteen points with three games to play in the ICC Women’s Championship, meaning that they will be unable to automatically qualify for the 2025 World Cup, and will instead be heading to the six-team qualifying event next year.
The only question remaining in this edition of the Championship, is whether Bangladesh can leapfrog New Zealand and take the remaining automatic qualifying spot. That will be determined by the result of their upcoming series in the West Indies in January. Bangladesh need three points from the three games to ensure they qualify – either two wins, one win and one no result, or three no results will be enough.

- 6-10 Mamatha Maben v SL at Kandy, 2004
