India Women's National
Cricket Team Vs England Women's National Cricket Team Timeline: India Women (IND-W) shocked England
Women (ENG-W) in the first T20I at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, winning by a
whopping 97 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The Women in Blue
will look to double their lead when they lock horns against Nat Sciver-Brunt
and Co. in the second T20I at the County Ground in Bristol on Tuesday, July 1.
In the first T20I, India were the underdogs, especially with regular captain
Harmanpreet Kaur missing out due to an injury she sustained in the warm-up game
against ECB Select XI. However, Smriti Mandhana took charge and led her team
from the front. The left-handed batter smashed her maiden T20I century to help
India post a formidable total of 210/5. Harleen Deol also contributed superbly
with a 23-ball 43.
In reply, England were bowled out for just 113 in 14.5 overs. Sciver-Brunt was
among only three England batters who got into double figures. She scored a
valiant 42-ball 66 but didn't receive much support from her fellow batters.
Shree Charani starred on her T20I debut, as she finished with figures of 4/12
in 3.5 overs. Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav bagged two wickets apiece, while
Amanjot Kaur and Arundhati Reddy chipped in with one scalp each.
England have enough quality in the side to bounce back strongly. On the other
hand, India will hope that Harmanpeet recovers in time and plays a part in the
second T20I.

Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana looked in terrific form in the first T20I, and she would want
to carry on with it in Bristol. She smashed 112 runs off 62 balls, hitting 15
fours and three sixes. The opening batter would want to get India off to a
solid start inside the powerplay, along with Shafali Verma.
Probable Best Bowler: Lauren Bell

Lauren Bell bowled wonderfully well in the first T20I, even as her fellow
bowlers were being hit to different parts of the ground by Smriti and Harleen.
The right-arm seamer finished with phenomenal figures of 3/27 in her four-over
spell. She will look to give England wickets with the new ball.
