The three-match women’s T20I series that England won 2-1 at the Wankhede over the last week, was all about grooming young players for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh (September-October 2024). India presented maiden caps to left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque and off-spinner Shreyanka Patil. Both finished with five wickets apiece including three each in the final T20 to help India dismiss the visitors for 126 on Sunday, a target India chased with five wickets in hand. Patil won the Player of the Match award for her 3-19. Ishaque was not far behind, picking up 3-22.
