India Women Vs England Women: Mandhana’s Maiden T20I Ton Powers IND-W To 97 Run Win
India Women began their five-match T20I series with a commanding 97-run win over England in Nottingham on Saturday. Stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana led from the front with a breathtaking maiden T20I century, smashing 112 off 62 balls, the highest score by an Indian in the format. She shared vital stands with Shafali Verma (20) and Harleen Deol (43 off 23) to lift India to 210 for 5, their second-highest T20I total. In reply, England never looked in control, losing wickets at regular intervals despite a lone fight from skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt, who made 66. On debut, 20-year-old Shree Charani starred with the ball, claiming 4 for 12 as England were bundled out for 113 in 14.5 overs. The win gave India a 1-0 lead and sent a clear message early in the series.
