INDW vs ENGW, 3rd T20I, Live Updates
...The Chase...
India Women would be slightly disappointed as they had a chance to keep England Women under 100 but gave away too many runs at the backend. Renuka Singh started well as she took two wickets, Saika Ishaque and Shreyanka Patil too ended with three wickets each. Still, this is a par total and if the Indian batters clicked, this should be an easy chase. Stay tuned for the chase.
England Women have given a real chance to win this match. At first, it felt like Heather Knight was struggling but she made sure to still right till the end as she unleashed herself to get England to a respectable total. The other batters though struggled as the pitch was a bit sluggish and was tacky. However, the way Knight played, we feel that could make a big difference and also the late cameo from Dean will be very effective.
