IND-W vs ENG-W 2nd Women’s T20 Highlights: England beats India by four wickets to secure series win

Ecclestone hits the winning runs with a four. England secures a comfortable win and with that the series. 

Soft dismissal! Amy Jones with the reverse sweep and it is caught by Pooja. 

Amy Jones c Vastrakar b Sharma 5 (5b 0x4 0x6)

Freya Kemp is trapped LBW first ball she faces. 

Freya Kemp lbw b Sharma 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

What a catch from Amanjot Kaur. Ishaque pitches it up and Capsey tries to chip it over and it is grabbed by a diving Amanjot at short cover. 

Alice Capsey c sub (AB Kaur) b Ishaque 25 (21b 4x4 0x6)

ENG 73/4 in 10 overs

Pooja strikes! Sciver-Brunt misses the line and the ball crashes onto the stumps.

Nat Sciver-Brunt b Vastrakar 16 (13b 2x4 1x6)

ENG 62/3 in 8 overs

Full from Ishaque and Nat Sciver-Brunt smokes it over long on for a six. Capsey follows suit by stepping down the track. Four this time. 

Renuka to complete her quota. Capsey another boundary down the ground. 

Sciver-Brunt and Capsey each get a boundary off Titas Sadhu’s over to rejuvenate the English chase. The English duo gets three doubles of Renuka’s third over to keep the scoreboard ticking. 

One brings two! Renuka pitches it outside off and swings it in just enough to beat Wyatt’s inside edge. BOWLED!!

Danni Wyatt b Renuka Singh 0 (3b 0x4 0x6)

Renuka gets the better of Dunkley. Straight one and the English opener swings at it wildly. Misses it completely and is bowled!

Sophia Dunkley b Renuka Singh 9 (13b 2x4 0x6)

First over for Titas Sadhu. Starts with three dot balls against Dunkley. Fourth ball, Dunkley slices it away for a four. Another one wide of off stump and Dunkley slices it away for another four. 

Renuka starts with a huge leg-side wide. Another leg side wide next up and this time it runs away for a four. Horror start for India. Renuka brings the line back into the stumps and gets a few dot balls out of Dunkley. Renuka gives away couple more wides before ending the over. 

Ecclestone with the final blow. Pushes one through Ishaque’s defence. BOWLED!!!

Saika Ishaque b Ecclestone 8 (9b 1x4 0x6)

A weak Indian batting performance comes to an end. The English bowlers were relentless and none of the Indian batters had a response. England should ideally walk away with this match in no time. 

Full from Glenn and Ishaque thumps it back for a welcome boundary. Titas Sadhu is the other batter and Bell manages to get a top-edge out of her and completes a comfortable return catch. 

Titas Sadhu c & b Bell 2 (10b 0x4 0x6)

IND 79/9 in 16 overs

Jemimah manages two boundaries with some crisp sweep shots. But her knock soon comes to an end with Sarah Glenn trapping her LBW. 

Jemimah Rodrigues lbw b Glenn 30 (33b 2x4 0x6)

IND 69/8 in 14 overs

Shreyanka Patil gets her first chance with bat in international cricket. Gets off the mark with a hit to deep extra cover. 

Outside the off stump from Kemp and Shreyanks pushes her bat at it. Edged and another catch for Jones!

Shreyanka Patil c †Jones b Kemp 4 (6b 0x4 0x6)

Pooja jumps out of the crease, but gets nowhere near the ball. Goes through her defence to clatter onto the stumps. 

Pooja Vastrakar b Glenn 6 (13b 0x4 0x6)

Pooja Vastrakar and Jemimah have an epic mix-up. Luckily for India, the throw to the keeper’s end was a poor one. Pooja survives. Maiden from Sarah Glenn. 

Dean from the other end delivers a tight over.

Richa Ghosh is the new batter for India. Short from Bell and it is pulled away by Richa for a four. 

PowerPlay is done and out comes Sophie Ecclestone. On the pad and swept away for a single by Jemimah. Richa on strike. She prods one forward and Ecclestone dives to her left to take a low catch. 

Richa Ghosh c & b Ecclestone 4 (5b 1x4 0x6)

IND 37/5 in 7 overs

Wide and full from Bell. Deepti swings at it and can only manage an outside edge. Easy catch for Jones! India crumbling!

Deepti Sharma c †Jones b Bell 0 (2b 0x4 0x6)

Sciver-Brunt continues. On the pads and paddled away by Harmanpreet Kaur for her first four of the night. Sciver-Brunt repeats the delivery and Harmanpreet repeats the shot. The result is same. FOUR!!

But Sciver-Brunt has the last laugh. Pitches one outside the off-stump line and jags it back in. PLUMB!!

Harmanpreet Kaur lbw b Nat Sciver-Brunt 9 (7b 2x4 0x6)

First over from Sciver-Brunt. Short from her and Mandhana cuts it behind point. FOUR!!

Charlie Dean with a change of ends. On the off stump and it doesn’t spin. Hits Mandhana on the pads. Given out. India reviews it to no success!!

Smriti Mandhana lbw b Dean 10 (9b 2x4 0x6)

IND 19/2 in 4 overs

Bell with the second over. She pitches it up and Mandhana leans into the drive. FOUR!!

Jemimah too with a cover drive. Gets a couple of runs from it. 

Charlie Dean with the first over. Shafali on strike. Defends the first ball. 

Dean fires a straighter one in and Shafali misses it. Gone! LBW!!

Shafali Verma lbw b Dean 0 (2b 0x4 0x6)

IND 2/1 in 1 over

India - Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Shreyanka Patil, Titas Sadhu, Pooja Vastrakar, Renuka Thakur Singh, Saika Ishaque

England - Sophia Dunkley, Danielle Wyatt, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight(c), Amy Jones(w), Freya Kemp, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Bell

We were looking to bowl as well but everyone was ok with whatever. Only thing about bowling second was about dew but it wasn’t there in the last game so we are okay with batting first. We had a very positive meeting the other day, we understood our field placements and the areas we need to bowl better.

We’re going to have a bowl, generally as a side we prefer chasing. Brilliant start from the batting group, really pleased with the way we went about it. Couple of things we could’ve sharpened up with the ball. Charlie Dean comes in for Mahika Gaur.

England wins the toss and elects to bowl first.
