India National Cricket team vs England Cricket team match scorecard

Right then, there’s only one more thing left to do and that is Harmanpreet Kaur picking up the series-win trophy and she joins her team on the podium as they celebrate joyously. This marks the end of a historic five-match T20I series between England Women and India Women which has ended in India’s first-ever bilateral triumph against England, that too on their home soil.
