England Women vs India Women: India kept the series alive with a win in the 2nd T20I vs England, at the County Cricket Ground in Hove on Sunday.

A late comeback by the spinners comprising Poonam Yadav and Sneh Rana helped India defeat England by eight runs in the second T20I of the three-match series at the County Ground, Hove on Sunday. With this win, India have kept themselves in the series and if the visitors win the final match, then the scoreline will be levelled. Currently, England lead the series 8-6 and the decider will be played on Wednesday. Chasing 149, England got off to a bad start as opener Danni Wyatt (3) perished in just the second over bowled by Arundhati Reddy. Soon after, Natalie Sciver (1) was run-out in the third over and England were reduced to 31/2. However, Tammy Beaumont continued with her carnage and as a result, England's score read 52/2 by the end of the Powerplay overs. Skipper Heather Knight and Beaumont kept the scoreboard ticking and the hosts needed 69 runs off the final ten overs for the win. Knight and Beaumont put on 75 runs for the third wicket, but this partnership finally came to an end in the 14th over as Beaumont (59) was sent back to the pavilion by Deepti Sharma.
