India Women's World Record: The Indian women's team may have lost to England in the third T20, but India has made a record in this match, which no team has been able to make in any format till date.
England won the third match of the five-match T20 International series against India, but India still leads 2-1. England secured this win by five runs, but the Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur set a world record that even the men's cricket team hasn't achieved in any format yet. The entire credit for this record goes to the Indian women bowlers.
England's women's team, who won the toss and batted first, made a strong start with openers Sophia Dunkley (75) and Wyatt-Hodge (66). They had a partnership of 137 runs in 15.1 overs for the first wicket. England was aiming for a score of 200+ but, while trying to score quickly, lost 9 wickets in just 25 balls, creating a unique world record for India.
At 137 runs without loss in 15.1 overs, England's team lost 9 wickets at 168 runs in 19.2 overs. During this, three batsmen went back to the pavilion without opening an account, and five batsmen were out on single digits. England reached 171 runs after losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. Anuradha Reddy and Deepti Sharma took 3 wickets each for India.
Chasing 172 runs, the Indian women's team got off to a quick start with openers Smriti Mandhana (56) and Shefali Verma (47), scoring 85 runs in 9 overs. However, due to middle-order failure, India lost by 5 runs, ending with 166 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. India still leads the series 2-1. The next match will be played in Manchester on July 9.
