India Women Lose T20I Series to England Ahead of ICC Women's T20 World Cup
India's women's cricket team lost the T20I series against England 2-1 ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup starting June 12. Despite a strong start and captain Harmanpreet Kaur's notable 56-run innings, India struggled with lower-order batting and failed to maintain pressure through dot balls during England's chase.
