After scripting history in the T20 International (T20I) leg with a thrilling 3-2 series win, India Women now gear up to take on England Women in the much-anticipated three-match One Day International (ODI) series. With both teams fielding full-strength squads and the rivalry heating up, spectators won’t want to miss a moment of the action.
India Women scripted history by clinching their first-ever T20I series win over England with a 3-2 triumph that showcased their depth, resilience, and rising dominance in white-ball cricket. The series was marked by standout performances from the young and the experienced alike. Smriti Mandhana led from the front, finishing as the top run-scorer of the series with consistent knocks and also being the first Indian woman to score centuries in all three formats.
Shafali Verma, making a strong comeback into the side, provided explosive starts, while debutant N Sree Charani impressed with her poise and accuracy on her bowling debut, picking up 4 wickets, adding a fresh spark to the bowling unit. The spin duo of Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav controlled the middle overs with their guile, with Deepti also picking up a crucial 3-wicket haul in the third T20I.
The team’s fielding effort also reached new highs, with sharp catches and run outs reflecting the growing athleticism of the unit. The series win not only ended a long-standing English dominance in bilateral T20Is but also marked a significant milestone in India’s roadmap towards global white-ball supremacy.
