ENG-W vs IND-W: Wyatt-Hodge's fifty, Dean's three-wicket haul help England secure consolation win against India
England Women held their nerve to eke out a consolation five-wicket win against India Women in the fifth and final T20I at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday. The Women in Blue, who had secured the series victory in the previous match, were unable to defend 167 and lost a last-ball thriller against the host. England got off to a blazing start as openers Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophie Dunkley stitched together a 101-run partnership. Wyatt-Hodge, playing in her 300th international match, led the charge with a rapid half-century off 30 balls. India finally broke the stand just past the halfway mark when Radha Yadav dismissed Dunkley. Deepti Sharma struck in the very next over to remove Wyatt-Hodge, bringing the visitor back into the contest. However, India's fielding left much to be desired — misfields and dropped chances allowed England to stay in control. England skipper Tammy Beaumont then played a crucial hand, scoring a brisk 30 off 20 balls to keep the momentum going. With six runs needed off the final over, the match tilted again. Arundhati Reddy struck twice in the first three balls — cleaning up Beaumont with the very first delivery and then watching Radha Yadav pull off a stunning catch in the deep to dismiss Amy Jones. However, with just one run needed off the last ball, Sophie Ecclestone managed to steal a tight single and seal the win for England. Earlier, India's batting performance was underwhelming, apart from an explosive knock by opener Shafali Verma. The 21-year-old was at her aggressive best, smashing the second-fastest T20I half-century (23 balls) by an Indian woman. She went on to score a blazing 75 before falling to a brilliant catch by Maia Bouchier off Charlie Dean's bowling. Dean went to take two more scalps, finishing with figures of three for 23, effectively stifling India's middle order. India won the five-match WT20I series 3-2.

Deepti Sharma Breaks T20I Spin Record, Joins 300-Wicket Club During IND vs ENG 4th T20I
Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma etched her name into the annals of cricketing history by reaching two monumental milestones during the fourth T20I against England at Old Trafford. The veteran spinner became only the second Indian woman to claim 300 international wickets, and also the highest wicket-taking spinner in Women's T20 Internationals, surpassing legends of the game in the process. India's six-wicket win on the night, which sealed their historic first-ever five-match T20I series victory in England, was already significant. But Deepti's feats made it even more memorable. 300 International Wickets: A Rare Club Deepti's wicket of Alice Capsey in the 4th T20I brought up her 300th international wicket across formats, joining India's pace legend Jhulan Goswami (355 wickets) as the only Indian women to reach the milestone. Tests: 9 wickets ODIs: 148 wickets T20Is: 145 wickets Her ability to remain consistent across formats for over a decade underlines her remarkable fitness, skill, and game awareness. Whether it's the red ball or the white, Deepti has evolved into one of India's most bankable match-winners. Most Wickets by a Spinner in WT20Is Equally historic was Deepti's rise to the top of the WT20I spin leaderboard. She now holds the record for most wickets by a spinner in Women's T20Is, with 145 wickets in 128 matches, overtaking Pakistan's Nida Dar. Most wickets by spinners in WT20Is: 1 - Deepti Sharma: 145 wickets in 128 matches 2 - Nida Dar: 144 wickets in 160 matches 3 - Sophie Ecclestone: 139 wickets in 100 matches 4 - Nattaya Boochatham: 126 wickets in 102 matches 5 - Anisa Mohammed: 125 wickets in 117 matches What's Next With one more T20I left in the series and a three-match ODI leg ahead, Deepti Sharma will have plenty of opportunities to further extend her legacy. Her form is a massive boost as India prepares for the 2025 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa.
