Indian Women Earn 5-Wicket Win in Final T20I, England Win Series 2-1

Mumbai: Smriti Mandhana scored a scratchy run-a-ball 48 but that was enough to earn India a consolation five-wicket win against England in the third and final women’s T20 International here on Sunday.

England won the three-match series 2-1. England made 126 all out and India replied with 130 for 5.

Batting first, captain Heather Knight’s 52 ensured a modest 126 for England with spinners — left-arm orthodox Saika Ishaque and off-break specialist Shreyanka Patil — scalping three wickets each.
