Ahead of the second T20I match against the England women`s team, the Indian players will hope that their in-form batswoman Smriti Mandhana continues on her rich vein of form. The side will also expect its skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, to make a return for the upcoming match.

Mandhana smashed her maiden T20I century against England in the previous clash and helped India register a 97-run win. Harmanpreet, who missed the first T20I as a precautionary measure following her head injury, may only add worries in England`s dugout if she features in the second game.

Mandhana`s stroke-filled century would have rung alarm bells in the English camp as it tries to find answers to the dramatic batting collapse it suffered while chasing a steep 210-run total.
