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.

JEMIMAH, OUT!
Jemimah Rodrigues tries to force things. She steps down to Sarah Glenn and tries to go over long-on, but does not get to the pitch of the ball. Goes through with the shot anyways and ends up gifting a catch to Kathrine Sciver-Brunt on the boundary. That wicket also brings in an early drinks break.
IND: 57/2 (9.1)

SHAFALI, OUT!
Excellent from Lauren Bell as she keeps Shafali tied to the striker's end with four consecutive dot balls. Brings in a bouncer then and Shafali tries to pull awkwardly, but only manages to sky it towards mid-on where Kathrine Sciver-Brunt takes a good catch.
IND: 29/1 (4)
