Both were hitting boundaries with ease, due to which England was moving towards a strong score. Earlier, the opener and Beaumont played the first 10 overs successfully for the first time in this tournament and made a partnership of 77 runs for the first wicket. But left-arm spinner Sri Charani (2 wickets for 68 runs) dismissed Sciver-Brunt and after this England’s batting disintegrated under pressure.

His problems increased further when Knight was run out on an accurate throw by Sneh Rana in the 45th over. After this, India completely dominated England and the weaknesses of their middle order were once again exposed by losing five wickets in the last 10 overs.

In the 20th match of the Women’s World Cup 2025, England has invited the Indian team to bowl first. This is a very important match for Team India from the point of view of reaching the semi-finals.

It is not easy. The players faced it firmly.”
