The Indian women's cricket team lost the second match of the three-match T20 series against England on Saturday.  This match between the two teams was played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.  England won the match by four wickets and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.  England captain Heather Knight won the toss and decided to bowl first.  Team India was skittled out for a paltry 80 runs in 16.2 overs.  The visiting team won the match by scoring 82 runs in 11.2 overs.


 The Indian team has lost its sixth consecutive T20 series against England.  The women's team has never won a three-match T20 series against England.  In 2006, India defeated England 1-0 in the only match.  Jemimah Rodriguez made highest score of 30 runs for India but could not take the attack to the opponents to counter the relentless pressure  .  Charlie Dean, Lauren Bell, Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn took two wickets each for England.  In reply, Alice Capsey scored 25 runs and Natalie Sciver Brunt scored 16 runs for England.  Renuka Singh Thakur and Deepti Sharma took two wickets each for India.


 India suffered its first blow in the match in the first over itself.  Charlotte Dean trapped Shefali LBW on the second ball.  Shefali could not even open an account.  India got the second blow in the form of Smriti Mandhana.  Mandhana (10) was given LBW by Charlotte Dean.  


 After the openers , India's middle order also failed.  Captain Harmanpreet Kaur became the victim of Natalie Sciver Brunt. Harmanpreet scored nine runs on seven balls.  Deepti Sharma could not open the account.  She slashed at an outgoing ball and was caught by Amy Jones on the ball of Lauren Bell.  Soon Richa was caught by Sophie Ecclestone off her own ball.  Richa scored four runs on five balls.



 

 Pooja Vastrakar (6) to went cheaply too.  Pooja was clean bowled by Sarah Glenn.  Shreyanka (4)  was caught off Freya Kemp at the hands of Amy Jones.  Finally  Jemima (30) perished after being dropped once 


In reply India hit back early with quick wickets Renuka Thakur took two wickets in the third over.  She dismissed Sophia Dunkley on the third ball as batter played on  and Daniel Wyatt (0) on the sixth ball bowled through the gate .  Pooja Vastrakar dismissed Natalie Sciver Brunt (16 runs).  Alice Capsey was out after scoring 25 runs on the ball of Saika Ishaque.  Amy Jones (five runs) and Freya Kemp (zero) were dismissed by Deepti Sharma to raise slight hopes for India .  However , after the fall of six wickets, Sophie Ecclestone (9*) Heather Knight (7,*) close out the match without further delay . Indian bowlers performed well, but due to less runs on the scoreboard, Team India had to face defeat.
