Women`s T20 WC, Ind vs Eng highlights: Poor batting sees India crash to big defeat against England

Youngster Ghosh fought valiantly for her team but failed to get India over the line despite a fiery start to the innings. It was a close encounter between the two sides but Indian batters have only themselves to blame.  A poor batting performance by India saw them going down against a gritty England side by 11 runs. The only bright spot for India, on the batting front, was Smriti Mandhana, who scored 52 runs off 41 balls.  But she ran out of partners and perished while going for another big hit. That`s all for tonight. 

Eccelstone does the job pretty well, as she gives away only three runs off her penultimate over and dismisses Deepti Sharma. India can no way win from here. 31 runs needed off last 6 balls. 

Sadly, a six won`t do the job here. Ghosh hits it big but manages only 9 runs off the 18th over. England is on the cusp of bagging two points tonight. 34 needed from the last two overs.

What a massive turnaround of fates it has been tonight! Indeed, one never truly knows the outcome of a match until the last over is played. How quickly things changed when it just seemed India may walk away with an easy victory! Sciver Brunt bowls an economical spell, yielding not more than 4 runs off the 17th over. The onus now lies on Richa, if she is to take the risk and go for the much-needed aerial shots on almost every ball from here.
