New Delhi: The five-match T20 series between the Indian and England women’s cricket teams has been nothing short of thrilling so far. With two back-to-back wins, Team India has taken a commanding 2-0 lead. As the two teams gear up for the third T20 on July 4, the match has become do-or-die for England. A loss here would seal the series in India’s favour.
However, ahead of this crucial fixture, England has suffered a major blow—skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt has been ruled out due to a back injury. In her absence, Tammy Beaumont will take over the captaincy duties. The England Cricket Board confirmed the news via press release, adding that Sciver-Brunt is yet to undergo scans to determine her availability for the remainder of the series.
Sciver-Brunt’s Absence and Its Impact
Nat Sciver-Brunt is one of England’s most seasoned T20 performers. With 2,960 runs in 137 T20 Internationals, including 18 half-centuries, her absence is a significant loss. She played a stellar 66-run knock in the first T20, although she managed just 13 runs in the second. Without her in the lineup, England’s batting depth could be seriously tested.
To cover for Sciver-Brunt, Maia Bouchier has been added to the squad. The onus will now be on her to make an impression in this high-pressure encounter.
Team India’s Dominant Run
India has kicked off the series in style. In the first T20, Smriti Mandhana’s brilliant 112-run knock and Harleen Deol’s 43 set the tone as India posted a mammoth 210 runs. With S. Charani claiming four wickets, India crushed England by 97 runs. The second match was more competitive, but India still emerged victorious by 24 runs, showcasing an all-round performance by both batters and bowlers.
The Road Ahead
As the third T20 approaches, England must win to stay alive in the series. Meanwhile, India will be eager to continue their winning momentum and seal the series with two matches to spare. Confidence is high in the Indian camp, but England, despite losing their skipper, won’t go down without a fight. All eyes are now on this high-stakes clash that promises another exciting chapter in this closely watched series.
