Pre-Match Analysis:
England’s batting came under scrutiny again, exposed by disciplined bowling from India, causing the hosts to struggle to reach 126 for 7 in the 4th T20I at Old Trafford. Ultimately, they lost the match with 18 balls remaining. This defeat meant the series slipped from their grasp, with one game still to play.
They missed the services of Nat Sciver Brunt, who was ruled out mid-series due to injury, adding to their batting inconsistency at various levels, which was a major setback for them. Top-order batter Sophia Dunkley is the only player to surpass 100 runs for England. With the ball, Lauren Bell stands out with 6 wickets.
India Women made their mark on English soil, achieving the incredible feat of winning their first-ever T20I series. This milestone was achieved through their overall team effort. They delivered an excellent bowling performance, supported by gun fielding in the 4th T20I, holding the hosts to less than 130. In reply, thanks to valuable contributions from the top four, they easily chased down the target and took an unassailable 3-1 lead.
Shree Charani continues to impress in her debut T20I series, taking a total of 10 wickets in 4 matches, including a 4-wicket haul in her first T20I appearance. With the bat, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana had an outstanding run, scoring 213 runs in 4 innings at an average of 53.25.
The team is in good shape at the moment and aims to close out the series with a 4-1 victory.
