Indian Women's Team Makes History in Manchester
The Indian women's cricket team has achieved a remarkable milestone in Manchester by winning their first-ever T20 series against England. In a thrilling match at the Emirates Old Trafford, India triumphed over England by 6 wickets, securing a 3-1 lead in the five-match series and making history.
The final T20 match of the series is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Birmingham. Previously, India had defeated England in a solitary T20 match held in Derby in 2026. However, since then, the Indian team had faced defeats in every T20 series against England, both at home and abroad. This victory marks the end of a 19-year drought for the team.
India's impressive win was largely due to the outstanding performance of their spinners. Radha Yadav (2/15), Shree Charani (2/30), and Deepti Sharma (1/29) collectively took 5 wickets, restricting the host team to just 126 runs for 7 wickets in their 20 overs. Following this, openers Shafali Verma (31 runs) and Smriti Mandhana (32 runs) set the stage for victory with a rapid partnership of 56 runs for the first wicket in just 7 overs. India successfully chased down the target, scoring 127 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 17 overs, with 18 balls to spare. Radha Yadav was named Player of the Match.
