In the second T20I of the England Women's tour of India in 2023, the Indian Women's team managed to score a modest total of 80 runs in 16.2 overs.
Although Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Harmanpreet Kaur made valuable contributions, the tight bowling from England's Charlotte Dean, Lauren Bell, and others limited the Indian innings. The fall of wickets was frequent, with India's middle order struggling against the English attack.
A good fightback from #TeamIndia, but it was England who won the 2nd T20I.
