LIVE –England Women v India Women – India Women tour of England (5th ODI) – Match Update – India Women at 90 for 6 by 40th over
Despite Harmanpreet Kaur’s valiant knock, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Georgia-Amanda-Elwiss-c59786, and found themselves restricted to 90 for 6 by the end of the 40th over during the series-deciding
5th ODI, currently being played at the Sir Paul Getty's Ground in Wormsley, today on July 11.
The 5-match one-day series has seen both teams evenly matches so far – the India Women won the first and second ODIs (by 5 wickets and 14 runs, respectively), while the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 Women won the next two (both by 3 wickets). The pressure of a series decider
is bound to be heavy on both teams today, by the visitors have gotten off to an unenviable, shaky start.
The host team won the toss and elected to field first, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Katherine-Helen-Brunt-c70447 in the very
first over, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarah-Jane-Taylor-c88769 in the 4th over.
Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mithali-Raj-c76407 completed an unimpressive top order, dismissed for 1 for Elwiss in the 6th over, leaving the tourists at a worrisome 2 for 3. However, Kaur (40) stepped up and made a brave effort to rescue her team’s innings, in addition to
top-scoring for her side.
She was joined at the crease by Veda Krishnamurthy (9), but her time at the crease did not last long, and she was bowled out by Elwiss by the 14th over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gouher-Sultana-c60424, who followed, managed to get a start of 15 runs, but was sent packing by
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Holly-Louise-Colvin-c63292 in the 30th over, leaving her side at 56 for 6.
Kaur’s innings came to an end in the 37th over, after she was caught out by Elwiss off Brunt, leaving her side at 85 for 6. Overall, the England Women’s bowlers remained fairly effective, with Elwiss (10-4-17-3) and Brunt (9-1-15-2) as the more
prominent figures, while Colvin (9-0-24-1) also managed to pick up a single scalp.
With 10 more overs to go, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amita-Sharma-c44062 (2*) at the crease, the visitors will need to up their game in order to post a challenging target for their opponents and have a shot at securing the series.
