-Wyatt, Sharma stroke half centuries
India defeated England by 11 runs at the Providence Stadium yesterday during the penultimate warm-up match of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Women’s World T20.
India won the toss and elected to bat, posting 144-6 from their allotted overs with Deepti Sharma scoring a half century while restricting England to 133-8 from their quota despite a fifty from Danielle Wyatt.
After a quiet first over, India shifted gears with Smriti Mandhana hitting Natalie Sciver for two boundaries only to be undone by a short ball which she hooked into the hands of Lindsey Smith for 13 from eight balls.
