After the first blockbuster T20I came to a close last Saturday, England Women prepare to take on Australia Women yet again in their upcoming match at The Oval. The second T20I of their three-game series will commence at 10.30 pm IST on July 5.
Australia Women have their nose ahead in the series. They had a tense finish in the last match as Georgia Wareham held her nerve and hit the winning run with just a ball to spare.
Megan Schutt and Jess Jonassen made major contributions with the ball, picking up five wickets in total. Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath made substantial contributions with the bat, which got Australia Women through to the finish line in just nick of time.
England Women would be slightly disappointed after ending up on the losing side in the opening match of the series. They did almost everything right to pull off a miraculous win. Although they did not have sufficient runs on the board, the bowlers worked hard till the very last over to throw Australia off course.
Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the bowlers who delivered figures of 2/24 to nearly propel England Women to an emphatic victory. The hosts have their task cut out as they will need to battle it out in the upcoming T20I fixture to stay alive in this series.
