India Women Vs England Women, 2nd T20I: All-Round IND-W Ease To Second Straight Win

Half-centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur, followed by some disciplined bowling by spinners Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma, helped India register a convincing 24-run win over England in the second women's T20 international at Bristol on Tuesday (July 1, 2025). Chasing India's 182-run target, the hosts could only muster 157 as Harmanpreet Kaur's side took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

India amassed 55 runs in the final five overs of their innings with Richa Ghosh playing a vital 20-ball unbeaten 32 and Amanjot also undefeated at 63 (off 40 balls). Amanjot and Rodrigues' (63 off 41) knocks propelled the tourists from 31 for 3 at one stage to a challenging 181-run total.

The English chase got off to a dreadful start with Sophia Dunkley run out in the first over after a terrible mix-up with Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and the latter gifting her wicket with a loft to mid-off off the very next ball. Tammy Beaumont got to a well-deserved half-century but departed soon after, and in the end, the required run rate was too high for the home team to stand a chance.

Shree Charani returned figures of 2/28 in four overs and Deepti 1/30, while Player of the Match Amanjot also chipped in with a wicket. "I am feeling quite overwhelmed, happy to contribute to this win. Jemimah (Rodrigues), the way she played her innings, it was quite impressive. The bowlers bowled very well, 150 was par so we backed our bowlers and got it," the all-rounder said after helping set up India's victory.
