India beat England by 9 wickets
Davina Perrin and skipper Abigale Norgrove forged a quickfire start for England. Perrin smashed 45 off 40 balls, featuring two massive sixes and four boundaries, while Norgrove contributed 30 off 25, including three fours and a six. Their efforts powered England to 73-2 at the halfway mark.
However, India’s bowlers turned the game around in the second half, with Parunika Sisodia and Aayushi Shukla leading the fightback. Shukla struck crucial blows, dismissing both Perrin and Norgrove, slowing England’s scoring momentum. Things got worse for England as leading wicket taker in the tournament, Vaishnavi Sharma produced a brilliant 16th over, snapping three wickets as England crumbled to 92-8. A late push by Amrutha Surenkumar saw England amass 113 from their 20 overs.
