West Indies Women conceded a series defeat after going down to India Women by seven wickets in the third T20 International at the National Stadium, Providence last night with the latter now with an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

After winning the toss and opting to bat in front of a handful of spectators and in cool conditions, the Caribbean side were contained to just 59-9, their lowest total in an uninterrupted T20I.

Only two times have West Indies Women scored less than this total with 7-1 from two overs in a no- result contest and 42-8 in eight overs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
