India Women vs England Women, Second T20I: Mumbai Weather Forecast And Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

After enduring a heartbreaking defeat in the first T20I, India Women must bounce back in the second fixture to keep their hopes alive in the three-match series against England. The second T20I between the two powerhouses will be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on December 9.

The previous game was played at the same venue, where England put up a devastating show with the bat in the first innings. Going by the batting-friendly nature of the surface, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur decided to chase after winning the toss. But England took full advantage of the conditions and set a huge target of 198 runs.

Danny Wyatt and Nat Scavier-Brunt shone with the bat for the visitors. The duo joined hands following two early wickets. They took time to get settled at the crease before going all guns blazing. While Scavier-Brunt scored 77 runs off 53 balls, Wyatt contributed 75 runs to the scoresheet, facing only 47 deliveries. In response, the Indian batting unit collapsed like a deck of cards, with Shafali Verma being the only standout performer. The opening batter registered a commendable century. But her efforts went in vain as the hosts ultimately fell 38 runs short of the target.
