England lost their previous T20I series to Sri Lanka, in September, and have now stormed back with a series win against India. Should be a huge confidence-booster as the next T20 World Cup is scheduled to happen in Bangladesh in nine months time. Not the ideal start for the Indian head coach, Amol Muzumdar, but the home team will be raring to close off the series with a win before heading into the Test match next week. Do remember to join us for the third and final T20I tomorrow. Same time, same place. Cheers!!
Charlotte Dean | Player of the Match: Really happy with how the game played out, the bowlers around me made it very comfortable and easier for me. In T20 I find it really important not to get stuck bowling the same ball again and again and need to vary the pace and see how the batters react
Heather Knight | England skipper: A really brilliant spin and the crowd was outstanding, you really felt the pressure out in the middle
Harmanpreet Kaur | Indian skipper:
Alice Capsey: It didn't go to plan in the end but important thing was we got along fine and won the series. We are quite excited about playing here, looking forward to going again tomorrow. Charlie Dean was fantastic, she bowled excellently along with Sarah Glenn and Sohpie Ecclestone. Our seamers followed up as well. Half of us were training in Oman and the other half were in Australia playing the WBBL so it was actually nice to get everyone together. Plan is to win tomorrow.
