Bhatia opted to square drive a good length delivery but ended up slicing the shot into the air. Georgia Wareham, who was stationed at point, moved to her left to complete the wicket.
Even before the wicket, Bhatia had struggled to get going. In seven deliveries, she could manage just the solitary run before eventually falling on the eighth.
The team’s total was 15 runs at the loss of the first wicket. Nat Sciver-Brunt joined Hayley Matthews to replace Bhatia.
