India Women continued its losing streak in the T20s against England when they lost by five wickets on Thursday at Barspara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.
Batting first, India put up a horrendous show with the bat as the hosts dwindled down to a paltry 111-8 in 20 overs. The opening pair of Harleen Deol (14) and Smriti Mandhana (12) got off to starts however failed to capitalize. Mithali Raj looked good for her 20 but was dismissed against the run of play. Deepti Sharma (18) and Bharati Fulmali (18) looked to consolidate, but it was too late in the day. Is India missing Harmanpreet Kaur? May be. With the ball, Katherine Brunt was brutal as she picked up 3-17 in her four overs.
In reply, the visitors chased down the target with five balls to spare, winning the match by five wickets. Opening bat Danielle Wyatt played right through the innings scoring an unbeaten 64. Wyatt was ably supported by Lauren Winfield (29) towards the end. Indian bowlers kept it tight as they forced England to take the match till the very last over. Slow left arm bowler Ekta Bisht scalped 2-23 in her four overs.
Having clinched the T20 series, the two sides will lock horns against each other on Saturday for the last and final T20 at the same venue.
