Richa Ghosh stunned cricket enthusiasts by smashing a record-equalling fastest fifty in the third and final women's T20I on Thursday. Combined with Smriti Mandhana's steadfast performance, India secured a 60-run victory over the West Indies, clinching the series 2-1.

In an impressive display of batting prowess, Ghosh blitzed to a 21-ball 54, tying the women's T20I record for fastest fifty. Mandhana, with a robust 77, propelled India to a magnificent 217 for four. The West Indies faltered in their chase, managing only 157/9.
