England Women 1-0!
However for the Indian team this match proved to be forgettable. They lost the match by 18 runs on DLS calculations. Chasing a target of 178 runs, India had reached 54 for 3 in the 9th over when rain intervened. After continuous downpour the match was called off. Moreover the Indian team were 18 runs behind the DLS par score. Hence England were adjudged the winners of the match by 18 runs. They go 1-0 up in the series of 3 games.
Earlier England had made 177 runs in their 20 overs. The player in form Nat Sciver made 55 runs and was the top scorer for her team. She took just 27 balls to hit those runs. The wicket keeper Amy Jones too cracked a 27 ball 43 runs and was looking all set to complete her fifty. Interestingly she was the batter whose catch Harleen Deol took and lit up the ground.
The English batter Nat Sciver was adjudged the player of the match. Second t20 game between the two sides will be played on 11 July at Hove followed by the third T20 game at Chemsford. Moreover India will look to bounce back in the series by winning the second match vs the hosts.
