Asked to bat first, India got off to a flying start as vice-captain Mandhana and debutant Pratika Rawal stitched up a 110-run partnership to put the hosts on the front foot before the latter was caught and bowled by Hayley Matthews.
Rawal, who was not quick enough, ended up poking the ball in the air which was brilliantly caught by the spinner.
Mandhana's innings, laced with 13 boundaries, came to an end in the 32nd over when Zaida James caught her plumb for an LBW.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been under immense pressure in recent times, looked to be in fine form as she scored 34 runs in 23 deliveries, which included three fours and one six.
