India Women vs England Women Scorecard

India found themselves in a deep hole at 31 for 3 after just five overs, with their top guns—Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur—all back in the pavilion. But from that point on, Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur launched a spectacular counterattack. The pair stitched together a 93-run stand off just 55 balls, rescuing the innings and laying a solid foundation for a big total.

Rodrigues, initially cautious, switched gears in the middle overs and took on the spinners and seamers alike, eventually reaching 63 off 41 balls. Amanjot, meanwhile, was calm, composed, and technically solid, rotating strike well before opening up later.

Their partnership not only steadied the innings but shifted the momentum firmly in India’s favor. It was a clinical mix of rebuilding and aggression, and it completely deflated England’s early bowling success. By the time Rodrigues departed, India had surged past 120, with plenty of firepower still left.

Amanjot’s All-Round Brilliance Seals the Match

If there was a single standout performer in this contest, it was undoubtedly Amanjot Kaur. Batting at No. 5 for the first time, she rose to the occasion with a match-defining 63 off 40 balls*, her maiden T20I half-century. What made her knock even more valuable was her ability to shift gears exactly when India needed acceleration in the second half of the innings.

She anchored the innings smartly after Rodrigues’ dismissal, forming another vital stand with Richa Ghosh, and finished with a flurry of boundaries. But Amanjot’s contribution wasn’t limited to batting. With the ball, she removed England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, a key moment considering the match situation.

Sciver-Brunt, struggling with a hip niggle, was dismissed early in the chase, and Amanjot’s breakthrough set the tone for England’s collapse in the powerplay.

Her all-round display—runs under pressure and a crucial wicket—earned her both Player of the Match and Cricinfo MVP honors. This was a career-defining performance on a high-profile stage.

Explosive Finish: 117 Runs in Last 10 Overs

India’s first 10 overs yielded a moderate 64/3, but what followed was a full-blown assault. The final 10 overs saw India plunder 117 runs, one of their best second-half efforts in women’s T20I history. The charge was led by Rodrigues, who struck boundaries at will after her fifty, and Amanjot, who targeted England’s premier spinner Sophie Ecclestone with confidence.

Their 16-, 18-, and 15-run overs in succession broke England’s rhythm completely. Later, Richa Ghosh added fuel to the fire with a brutal cameo—32 off 20 balls*—that included six boundaries. England’s bowlers—especially Arlott, Filer, and Smith—struggled under pressure and leaked runs at over 10 per over. Ecclestone was economical, but without breakthroughs, her effort was in vain.

The finishing touch by India’s middle and lower middle-order ensured they ended with 181/4, the second-highest total in women’s T20Is at Bristol. It was a statement innings showcasing India’s growing confidence and depth.

Tammy Beaumont’s Lone Fight in Vain

While most of England’s top and middle order crumbled under pressure, Tammy Beaumont stood tall with a gritty and stylish 54 off 35 balls. Returning to T20I cricket due to Heather Knight’s injury, Beaumont batted at No. 4—an unusual position for her—but adapted brilliantly.

Coming in during a collapse (England were 2/2), she counterattacked with authority. She struck 8 fours and a six, including three consecutive boundaries off Sneh Rana, and at one point had pulled England marginally ahead of India’s 10-over mark.

However, a misjudged single and a brilliant throw by Rana ended her knock just when England needed her to bat deep. Her run out at 87/3 was a turning point, as England needed 95 from the last 8.5 overs. Beaumont’s knock, her first T20I half-century since 2021, showed her enduring class, but without support from the rest, her fight went in vain. Still, she made a strong case for regular selection ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.

England’s Top Order Fails Again

England’s opening woes deepened further in this match. Their top three—Dunkley, Wyatt-Hodge, and Sciver-Brunt—were dismissed inside the first four overs, leaving England reeling at 17/3.

Sophia Dunkley was run out after a poor call, while Wyatt-Hodge continued her dismal form with yet another soft dismissal—this time hitting straight to mid-off.

Wyatt now has just 18 runs in her last 5 innings, including three ducks. Sciver-Brunt, returning to the crease with a tight hip, showed brief promise but fell to Amanjot Kaur. The powerplay yielded just 32 runs, with three wickets lost.

This poor start mirrored their collapse in the first T20I and placed too much pressure on the middle order. The lack of solid starts is quickly becoming a pattern for England and one they must urgently address before the third match. If they want to win this series, they need a reliable, aggressive, and settled top order—something that’s been sorely lacking so far, like Bangladesh lacks in the timeline against India.

Charani & Deepti Deliver Key Spells

While India’s batting stole the limelight, the bowlers were equally effective in defending 181. Deepti Sharma set the tone early, dismissing the dangerous Danni Wyatt-Hodge and applying pressure with her miserly spell of 1/30 in 4 overs.

Later, it was Shree Charani, the young left-arm spinner, who turned the screw. She dismissed both Amy Jones and Alice Capsey in the same over, denting England’s momentum during the chase. Charani ended with 2/28 in 4 overs, one of her most composed performances in Indian colors. Her clever variations and consistent lengths strangled the run flow.

While Radha Yadav and Sneh Rana were a bit expensive, they still applied pressure through dot balls and tight lines. Amanjot’s one key wicket also helped restrict England’s chase. Overall, India’s bowling unit operated as a well-drilled machine, executing plans smartly and with discipline, never allowing any major partnerships to flourish.

Rodrigues Breaks the England Jinx

Jemimah Rodrigues has long been one of India’s most technically gifted batters, but performances against England in white-ball cricket had eluded her—until now. Her 63 off 41 wasn’t just a rescue act; it was a personal breakthrough.

Coming in at No. 3 under pressure, Rodrigues was slow to start but read the pitch and bowlers beautifully like in WPL. She picked her scoring areas—scoops behind the wicket, punches through cover, and lofted drives—with intelligence and variety.

A 33-ball half-century followed, marking her first fifty in 21 white-ball games vs England. It was also a redemption arc for her after missing out on runs in the previous game. Rodrigues’ knock featured 9 boundaries and a six, including a standout over against Arlott (6, 4, 4) after being struck on the helmet.

She showed grit, intent, and adaptability—all signs of a mature top-order player. Her return to form comes at a crucial time for India ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup buildup, as women’s world cup have always been exciting since their start in the 1973.

Historic Win: India Breach England’s Fortress

The match wasn’t just a win—it was historic. England Women had never lost a T20I at Bristol before. That record fell as India registered a 24-run win, going 2-0 up in the five-match series. After thrashing England in the first T20I, India once again dominated all departments—batting, bowling, and fielding.

For England, the loss was especially stinging, given that they were unchanged in both team and tactics. Their bowling lacked discipline outside of Lauren Bell (2/17), and their fielding saw dropped catches and misfields at critical moments. On the other hand, India’s sharp run-outs, tight spells, and fearless middle-order batting sent a strong message: they are here to challenge the top tier consistently.

The win also places pressure on Charlotte Edwards’ coaching setup, especially with the T20 World Cup on the horizon. Meanwhile, India looks like a rejuvenated side under Harmanpreet, combining youth and experience with increasing confidence.
