The India skipper shone briefly with the bat, striking four fours in the 35 minutes she spent in the middle.
India's best partnership was for the sixth wicket between Jhulan Goswami and Reema Malhotra, who added 37 runs.
Malhotra was the top scorer for India with her 38 coming off 51 balls, and which included two fours.
