Players to watch
Sarah Glenn:
The right arm leg spinner of England won the player of the match in the first T20I against India. She scalped 23/4 in her full quota of four overs and bowled 10 dot balls which was the joint highest for England in that match alongside Sophie Ecclestone. She bowled well in the middle phase of the innings and applied brakes on India’s scoring.
Sophia Dunkley:
The right-handed opening batter of England scored a delectable 61 not out off just 44 balls in the first T20I against India. The stylish batter hammered eight boundaries and a six. After being dropped on 15 she made the most of the second life and made India pay a heavy price. She guided England to an easy nine-wicket win chasing 133.
Deepti Sharma:
The left-handed middle order batter of India starred with the bat in the first T20I against England. She muscled an undefeated 29 off 24, including three hits to the fence. Apart from her batting, she bowled a couple of overs of right arm off spin. She did not have the best of days with the ball as she conceded 25 runs.
Sneh Rana:
The right arm off spinner of India was the lone wicket-taker for the team in the first T20I against England. She picked up 31/1 in three overs, including the best of dangerous Danielle Wyatt. In addition to her bowling, she can be more than handy with the bat lower down the order.
