    "editor1": "<p><strong>Gros Islet (St. Lucia), Nov 11:<\/strong>&nbsp;Shafali Verma continued with her prolific run as she helped India women defeat West Indies women by 10 wickets in the second T20I of the five-match series at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing a modest target of 104 on Sunday evening, Indian eves broke little sweat as both the Indian openers, who stitched a record partnership in the first match, got the team across the line in the 11th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Anisa Mohammed, who was captaining the side after Stafanie Taylor was ruled out of the series due to injury, won the toss and elected to bat first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just like the opening game, runs were again hard to come as Hayley Matthews and Stacy-Ann King opened the batting. Stacy-Ann was the first to go for 7 followed by Shemaine Campbelle for a four-ball 0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chedean Nation steadied the Windies middle order with Hayley, as the pair added 34 runs together before the opener - in her attempt to hit a straight six -- was caught in the deep for 23. Chedean fell soon after for 32 as Natasha McLean was the only other batter to reach double figures. She made 17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The hosts finished their 20 overs on 103\/7. Spinner Deepti Sharma was the pick of the Indian bowlers as she returned with figures of 4\/10 from her four overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shafali, who on Saturday had become the youngest Indian to score an internationally fifty, took a liking to the West Indies&#39; bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 15-year-old struck her second consecutive half-century to lead the Indians to victory in the 11th over. She finished on 69 not out while her opening partner Smriti Mandhana remained unbeaten at 30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India won the match reaching 104\/0 in 10.3 overs. Afy Fletcher was the most economical West Indies Women&#39;s bowler with 0\/11.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a lead of 2-0, India will now aim to seal the series when they take on West Indies in the third T20I at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n",
