India Women Vs England Women 1st T20I Highlights: Player of the Match Jemimah Rodrigues (69) and Yastika Bhatia (54) scored half-centuries before debutant Nandni Sharma picked up 3 wickets for 34 runs in four overs to help the Smriti Mandhana-led India women’s cricket team defeat England by 38 runs in the first T20I of the ongoing four-match series and take a 1-0 lead.
After being invited to bat first in Chelmsford, India posted a total of 188 for 7 despite losing captain Mandhana on the very first ball of the match. The target of 189 proved too much for the hosts, and despite wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones’ 67-run knock, England could only manage 150 for 8 in their 20 overs.
