ENG A Women vs IND A Women- Disciplined Bowling and Clinical Chase Help England A Women Complete Comfortable Victory over India A women in 3rd Unofficial T20

India A Women Struggle with the Bat

Batting first, India A Women failed to build partnerships and were bowled out for 111 in 19.5 overs.

Niki Prasad top-scored with 23 runs off 26 balls, while wicketkeeper Uma Chetry contributed 21 off 21 deliveries, striking four boundaries.

Middle-order batter Minnu Mani added a brisk 16 from 12 balls, while captain Anushka Sharma scored 14. Despite a late cameo from Jintimani Kalita, who hit 10 runs from just six balls, India A never gained momentum against England's disciplined bowling attack.

Frequent wickets and tight bowling prevented India A from posting a competitive total.
