England Beat India by 26 Runs to Level Women's T20I Series 1-1PreviousNext

In the second Women's T20I at Bristol, England defeated India by 26 runs to level the three-match series 1-1. England posted 168 for 5, boosted by Freya Kemp's unbeaten 39 off 13 balls and her two wickets. India’s left-arm spinner Shree Charani took 3 for 25, but India’s chase faltered with a middle-order collapse, finishing at 142 for 9. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur acknowledged pressure from dot balls and a retire-out gamble on Yastika Bhatia that backfired. The series decider will be played in Taunton.
