English batsmen entangled in Kranti Gaur’s spin
While chasing the target, England had a very bad start and both the openers were out cheaply. Emma Lamb and captain Nat Seward-Brunt added 162 runs for the third wicket and handled the innings, but then Shri Charani gave India a breakthrough and Lamb was out on a personal score of 62. After this, Brunt also could not last long and returned to the pavilion after scoring 98 runs.
Sophia Dunkley contributed 34 runs. At the same time, Alice Davidson-Richards scored 44 runs. However, due to the big target, their efforts did not work and then due to continuous falling wickets, England’s innings ended in the last over. Kranti Gaur took the maximum six wickets for Team India.
