Indian juggernaut in the white-ball tour continued as Amanjot Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues hit radiant fifties to propel the visitors to a commanding 24-run win over England in the second T20 International here.

Tuesday night’s win handed Harmanpreet Kaur’s side a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, having won the opener by a record-shattering 97-run margin. Amanjot (63 not out off 40 balls), who scored her maiden T20I fifty, and Rodrigues (63 off 41 deliveries) posted a formidable 181 for 4 after being asked to bat.

Spinners contribute

The Indian bowlers, led by spinners, then did their bit to restrict the home side to 157 for 7 in 20 overs despite Tammy Beaumont’s 35-ball 54, marking the first time any team has beaten England in a women’s T20I in Bristol.
