Presentation Time…
India Women vs England Women
England Women will be thrilled with the way they turned the game around after being on the back foot for most of the chase. Lauren Bell struck early, and Linsey Smith followed up with another wicket, but India Women dominated the middle overs, making it seem like the game might slip away. A crucial breakthrough came when Nat Sciver-Brunt dismissed Harmanpreet Kaur, giving England a lifeline. From there, they fought their way back, chipping away at the Indian batting line-up with regular wickets, as Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone each picked up two key scalps towards the end. Their fielding was outstanding, with sharp catching making all the difference in this nail-biting finish.
India Women vs England Women
Earlier in the game, England Women put up a strong total on the board, led by a brilliant century from Heather Knight in her 300th international appearance. She was well supported by Amy Jones, who notched up a fine half-century, and Nat Sciver-Brunt, who added a handy contribution in the middle order. However, given the platform they had heading into the final ten overs, England would’ve hoped to push well past the 300-mark. Instead, a late collapse saw them lose their last five wickets for just over 40 runs, stalling their momentum and finishing on 288/8. For India Women, the ever-reliable Deepti Sharma starred with the ball, claiming her best World Cup figures of 4/51 in this high-stakes encounter, while Sree Charani chipped in with a couple, and the remaining two wickets came via run-outs.

After that, Smriti Mandhana shifted gears beautifully, and with the ever-reliable Deepti Sharma for company, the pair built another crucial partnership to keep India in the chase. Just when things seemed to be under control, Smriti fell while attempting an ambitious shot, departing for a well-made 88 – a blow that brought the pressure right back on the hosts. Deepti, however, ensured that their stand didn’t go in vain, bringing up her own fifty and guiding India closer to the target. But her dismissal at a critical juncture, with the hosts still needing 27 runs, swung the momentum again, and despite their valiant effort, India fell agonizingly short by just 4 runs.

Chasing a daunting target, India got off to a rather slow start and lost Pratika Rawal early. Harleen Deol tried to inject some momentum with a few crisp shots but fell right at the end of the Powerplay. Smriti Mandhana took her time to settle in and soon found solid support from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who looked as determined as ever. The duo began rebuilding steadily before shifting gears once set, finding the boundaries with ease. Both registered splendid half-centuries and stitched together a crucial 125-run stand. However, Kaur’s dismissal for 70 left the hosts still needing over 100 runs, with Mandhana holding the fort at the other end.
