TAUNTON, June 29: India rode on Smriti Mandhana�s unbeaten 106 off 108 balls to register a resounding seven-wicket victory against the West Indies in their second league game of the ICC Women�s World Cup, here today.

In reply to West Indies� 183 for eight, India eased past the target losing three wickets with 45 balls to spare.
