It was not a day for memorable India debuts as off-spinner Shreyanka Patil (2-44), left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque (1-38) ended up disappointed in their first game for the country. Ditto head coach Amol Muzumdar, who was guiding the women’s team for the first time.

At the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, Heather Knight’s England team beat the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian side by 38 runs in the first women’s T20I.
