Captain Shireen Limaye (18 points) and power forward Jeena Skaria (12 points), however, tried to make things even but failed in doing due to lack of support. Jamaica won the rebounding battle handsomely which include 19 offensive rebounds. India is set to play Malaysia on Saturday followed by New Zealand on 8 April.
