The Indian women’s team will be eager to ride the momentum from their emphatic 97-run victory as they take on England in the second T20I at the Bristol County Ground on Tuesday, July 1. With the five-match series underway, India have drawn first blood thanks to a sensational all-round performance in the opener.
Smriti Mandhana, leading in the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur, delivered a captain’s knock by smashing her maiden T20I century, while young debutant Sree Charani etched her name in history with a four-wicket haul. The Women in Blue not only dominated with the bat but also showcased bowling discipline to dismantle a powerful England lineup. This dominant win has certainly tilted the momentum in their favour heading into the second contest.
