Presentation Time...
India Women were steady with the ball, though they might have expected a more comfortable margin of victory given the sizeable target. What truly set them apart was their outstanding fielding and catching, which proved to be a key difference between the two sides. Kranti Gaud gave India the perfect start with two early breakthroughs, setting the tone. However, they could not build on it and let the hosts come back into the game. It was Shree Charani who then broke the crucial partnership to swing the momentum back in India's favour, while Deepti Sharma delivered the big blow by removing Natalie Sciver-Brunt. Charani picked up another as well, but it was Goud who stole the spotlight with a sensational six-wicket haul, fittingly wrapping the win for the visitors.
Earlier in the game, India Women piled up a commanding total of 318, led by a brilliant 102 from Harmanpreet Kaur. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues provided strong support, while Richa Ghosh added the finishing touches with a fiery cameo. Although every English bowler chipped in with a wicket, they found it tough to stem the flow of runs, with only Sophie Ecclestone managing to keep things tight.
As long as Natalie Sciver-Brunt was out there, England had hope. She found solid support from Sophia Dunkley as well, and together they kept themselves in the game. However, just when things seemed to be tilting England’s way, Nat fell agonizingly short of a well-deserved century, dismissed for 98. Dunkley’s run-out shortly after further dented their chances. Alice Davidson-Richards did play a useful hand with a brisk 44, taking them closer, but it ultimately proved to be a consolation. Still, plenty of positives for England to carry forward as they gear up for the upcoming World Cup.
England Women had a dreadful start, losing both openers cheaply with barely anything on the board. But then came a game-changing partnership between Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Emma Lamb. The duo began cautiously, but once they got their eye in, they shifted gears effectively and kept the chase alive. Their 162-run stand, with both batters notching up well-crafted fifties, gave the hosts real hope and laid a solid foundation. After Lamb’s departure, the pressure mounted on the skipper, but she held her ground and kept England in the hunt.
India Women reign supreme in England! A superb all-round effort in the series decider sees them seal the ODI series, though it was far from a walk in the park. They had to work hard, and in the end, that brilliant spell from Kranti Gaud (6 for 52) proved to be the difference. Full credit to England Women for putting up a strong fight and taking the chase deep after posting a formidable total, but they just couldn’t get over the line in the end.
