Having won the first two T20Is, India women would look to seal the five-match series when they take on England women in the third game on Friday at Kennington Oval in London. The Women in Blue started with a bang in the first game, winning by 97 runs and aided by Smriti Mandhana’s maiden T20I hundred.
In the second game, India cruised through, thanks to half centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur. Shree Charani, who made her T20I debut for India in the ongoing series have been on top of the highest wicket-taker’s list with six scalps including a four-fer.
Meanwhile, England were dealt with a heavy blow as captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss the third T20I due to a left groin injury. Tammy Beaumont will captain the side in Sciver-Brunt’s absence.
A statement from England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said results of the scan will determine whether Sciver-Brunt is required to miss any more games in the series. Maia Bouchier called up the squad for the Kia Oval as cover for Sciver-Brunt.
