Smriti Mandhana's hundred powers India to statement win over England in 1st T20I
The men's team may have suffered a heartbreaking loss at Headingley during the recent Test match but the Indian women's team stepped up to hand England a massive 97-run loss in the first T20I between both sides at Trent Bridge on Saturday, June 28. Stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana led the way with her record-breaking hundred that allowed India to post a mammoth total of 210 for five in their 20 overs. advertisementChasing the target, the England batters, apart from Nat Sciver-Brunt, were blown away by the Indian bowlers as the hosts suffered their biggest loss in the T20I format. Sciver-Brunt scored 66 but it was Sree Charani, who was making her debut, who was the star of the show in the second innings, picking up four for 12 as England were bundled out for just 113 runs in 14.5 overs. ENG-W vs IND-W UpdatesNo Harmanpreet, no problem India were dealt a heavy blow before the toss as captain Harmanpreet Kaur was ruled out of the contest. Harmanpreet was hit on the head during a warm-up game and the team management decided to give the star batter some rest. This meant Mandhana had to come in as the skipper for the game on a wicket that seemed like an absolute delight for the batters. advertisementIndia were put into bat by England and Mandhana was the aggressor early on. She got a few boundaries going while Shafali Verma at the other end struggled for momentum. Despite Mandhana's 31 off 19 balls in the powerplay, India got just 47 runs in the first six. Something needed to change and it was Mandhana, who led the charge. The turning point of the match was the seventh over when the stand-in skipper decided to take Sophie Eccelstone to the cleaners with a couple of sixes and a boundary as 19 came from the ace spinner's first six balls. Mandhana got to her 31st T20I fifty soon after, but Shafali's struggle in the middle came to an end, bringing in Harleen Deol to the middle. The right-handed batter was probably going to sit out the game had it not been for Harmanpreet's niggle and she made full use of the chance. Harleen started with some confidence and four boundaries and this helped Mandhana also to switch gears easily. Harleen got a lifeline as Wyatt-Hodge dropped a sitter and the duo cashed in on it, getting their fifty-run stand in quick time. Mandhana was always eyeing a hundred in this format after her many attempts and finally decided Saturday was the day for her to be in the history books. The run-rate kept increasing and so was the elegance in the shots from the skipper as two boundaries were enough for her to get to the landmark and become the second Indian batter to reach the feat. advertisementSoon after, Harleen fell for a well-made 43 off 23 balls as the wickets started to tumble. Mandhana added some more runs and was dismissed in the final over, but the damage was already done. The Charani showThe issue for England wasn't the pitch but the way they went about with the chase. The surface remained true to its nature but the English batters looked to be in a hurry instead of timing their innings. Sophia Dunkley was the first to fall to Amanjot Kaur in the very first over. Danielle Wyatt-Hodge went off the first ball of the second over and the hosts were in big trouble. Sciver-Brunt looked a class apart from the rest of her compatriots as she powered them to 58 in 6 overs before Beaumont was sent packing by Deepti Sharma. advertisementAnd that was about it in terms of partnerships as well as wickets kept tumbling. Charani opened her wicket tally with the scalp of Capsey that left England reeling at 71 for 5 in nine overs. Sciver-Brunt got to her fifty in 31 balls and was waging the lone battle as Charani came in to clean up the tail along with the rest. She got the wicket of Sciver-Brunt and Lauren Bell to seal the deal as India took a 1-0 lead. The next match is in Bristol on July 1. - EndsTune InMust Watch

India Women vs England Women Live Score, 1st T20: Shafali-Mandhana Eye Attacking Start
IND-W vs ENG-W Live Cricket Score, 1st T20 (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): India face hosts England in the first T20I of their five-match series at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Saturday, June 28. England won the toss and opted to bowl first. India would like to get accustomed to English conditions with the ICC Women's World Cup set to take place in England next year, especially after India's early exit in the previous edition. The team will use this tour to understand pitch behaviour and unpredictable weather, key aspects of playing in the UK. The squad welcomes back Shafali Verma, who is expected to open alongside Smriti Mandhana after Uma Chetry's underwhelming performances. Newcomers Kranti Goud, Sree Charani, and Sayali Satghare will look to make an impact, especially in the absence of injured pacers Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar. All-rounders Sneh Rana and Amanjot Kaur will also be in the spotlight, with Rana making a return after a strong WPL season. India, however, come off two practice match defeats against the ECB Development Squad and will face a formidable England team led by Nat Sciver-Brunt. With experienced players like Amy Jones, Tammy Beaumont, and Sophie Ecclestone, as well as emerging talents Issy Wong and Alice Capsey, the hosts present a significant challenge. India will need standout performances from senior batters like Harmanpreet, Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues to compete effectively.
