India Women will take on England Women in the third One Day International New Road, Worcester on July 3, Saturday. England have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
In the second ODI, England won the toss and opted to bowl first. Pacer Kate Cross took a five-wicket haul to restrict India at 221/10 in 50 overs. Indian Opener Shafali Verma got India off to an aggressive start. She was stumped by Jones on 44 after the swashbuckling batsman danced down the wicket against Ecclestone. Skipper Mithali Raj scored 59 off 92 deliveries. The Indian batting order once again failed to put up a spirited show.
In reply to India’s 221, England sailed past the target with five wickets in hand. Lauren Winfield Hill led the England chase with a 42-run knock. An unbeaten partnership between Sophia Dunkley and Katherine Brunt sealed the deal for England.
That's the summary of the 2nd WODI. A spirited fightback by #TeamIndia but it wasn't enough. England win by 5 wickets. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/vdvxebGS72
