The performance of the English team in this series has been very poor so far. The team has faced defeat in the first two matches. The England team is on the verge of losing the series. In such a situation, it will have to win the third match at all costs to bounce back. Saviour Brunt has been injured before the third match, due to which she will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. In her absence, Tammy Beaumont will be seen in the role of captain.
Nat Sevier Brunt ruled out due to back injury
English Cricket said in a press release that Sevier Brunt has suffered a back injury and is yet to be scanned. The decision on how many matches she will be able to participate in the remaining matches of the series will be taken after the report comes. After her exclusion in the third T20, Maia Bouchier has got a place in the team as cover.
Brunt batted very well in the first match of the series. She played an important innings of 66 runs. However, her innings could not avert the team’s defeat. The English captain could not show anything special in the second match and returned to the pavilion after scoring just 13 runs. Brunt’s exit is a big setback for the team.
The Indian team will try to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series by winning the third T20 to be held on July 4. At the same time, England will want to keep themselves alive by winning the match. It will be interesting to see which team becomes the winner.
