Not a single batter from Indian side could play a long innings against Katherine Brunt led England bowling attack. Mithali Raj was the highest scorer with 20 off 27 balls. Smriti Mandhana seems to be under captaincy pressure and a quick comeback of Harmanpreet will be beneficial for the team. Indian team could manage to set a target of 111 only. Bowlers were expected to play their best and restrict English women.

In fact England got an initial blow when Radha Yadav took the wicket of Beaumonth in the 5th over. Moreover, after that Poonam Yadav and Bisht ran through the middle order.
