Despite good crowd support and familiar home conditions, Harmanpreet Kaur’s India lost to England by 38 runs in the first women’s T20I at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.
Chasing England’s 197-6, the hosts lost opener Smriti Mandhana (6) in the third over. And by the end of the Powerplay, India also lost one-drop batter Jemimah Rodrigues (4). However, Shafali Verma’s (52 off 42 balls, 9x4) attacking knock helped India reach 53-2 after six overs. They were 82-2 after 10 overs, requiring another 116 to win from the remaining 60 balls. But left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone (3-15) clean bowled the India captain, a dismissal that ended her 41-run stand with Verma.
