India went down by 11 runs against England in their Group B clash of the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Smriti Mandhana's half-century and a valiant unbeaten 47 from Richa Ghosh went in vain as the women in blue slipped to their first defeat of the World Cup.
Earlier in the day, Renuka Thakur shone with a fiver - the best ever bowling figures for an Indian at the Women's T20 World Cup, even as England posted 151/7 after being asked to bat first.

"Did not bowl according to plan"
"We started really well, but did not bowl according to the plan. We were going well with the bat, but could not keep up with the run-rate," says Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur in the post-match presentation.

INDIA LOSE BY 11 RUNS
Richa Ghosh tried her best, she really did with two sixes and a boundary off the final over...but she did not have the required support from the other end. India fall short by 11 runs.
IND: 140/5 (20)

20 needed off 4
This is technically out of India's hands now. Kathrine Sciver-Brunt just need to ensure she bowls three legal deliveries.

Richa is still fighting
Twin boundaries - one of a no ball, in the first two deliveries off the final over from Richa Ghosh. Does she have it in her to take India through with a free hit coming up?
22 needed off 5

Brilliant from Ecclestone
With 34 needed off 12 balls, Ecclestone just concedes three runs off the over. Almost impossible now for India to win this.
31 needed off 6
IND: 121/5 (19)

DEEPTI, RUN OUT!
Deepti Sharma hits one to the mid-wicket region aerially. The ball drops short of the fielder. India tries to steal a couple, but Sharma is caught short of the crease at the striker's end despite a dive. India sink further.
IND: 119/5 (18.2)
