Team India would look to make a strong comeback in the 2nd T20I to be played in Mumbai on 9th December 2023. Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, Shryeanka Patil, Kanika Ahuja, and Saika Ishaque made their debuts.
Saika Ishaque and Patil picked maiden T20I wickets. Renuka Thakur also bowled brilliantly with 3 wickets. Shafali Varma was the top scorer with 52 but none of the Indian batters failed to contribute as they failed to chase down 198.
On the other hand, Dani Wyatt and Sciver Brunt looked impressive putting on 138 run partnership for the 3rd wicket that laid a strong foundation for a big total. Amy Jones showed him with a quickfire knock that helped England women post 197. The bowling also looked sharp as Sophie Ecclestone took 3 wickets and other bowlers also contributed.

Pitch Report
The pitch used for the first T20I match was a high-scoring affair. Dani Wyatt and Sciver scored half-centuries that laid the foundation for England to post 197 for 5. It was a brilliant batting as the ball was coming onto the bat.
Shafali Varma was the only Indian batter to score half-century but not enough to cross the line. The captain that wins the toss would likely field first, put on a total, and then chase down the target.
