Indian women have had a disappointing tour of England so far. After marginally escaping defeat in the one-off Test, the Mithali Raj-led side succumbed to loss in the ODI series. A consolation win in the final ODI raised hopes of a better performance in the shortest format of the game. However, that was not the case to be as Indian women went down by 18 runs in the first T20I. We have betway review. Do check our full review.
Eve though it was England women who won the match, the moment that stole the show was Harleen Doel’s stunning catch to dismiss Amy Jones in the 19th over.
