Smriti Mandhana struck her fourth consecutive half-century and shared a 110-run opening-wicket partnership with debutant Pratika Rawal (40) as India made a formidable 314 for 9 in the first Women's One-Day International against West Indies, here Sunday.

Continuing her sublime form from the T201s, where she scored three successive half-centuries in India's 2-1 series triumph at Navi Mumbai, Mandhana smashed 91 off 102 balls, studded with 13 boundaries, even as West Indies pressed a total of seven bowlers to contain the on-song opener.

West Indies left-arm spinner Zaida James took five wickets for 45 runs.
