IND-W vs ENG-W, Women’s T20 World Cup Live Updates: Chasing a target of 152, India are four wickets down against England in a crunch Group B game at the St George’s Park in Gqeberha. Smriti Mandhana had kept India in the game, but fell shortly after completing her fifty. Earlier, Renuka Thakur bagged a five-for as India restricted England to 151/7. Renuka dismissed Danni Wyatt (0), Alice Capsey (3) and Sophie Dunkley (10), respectively, inside the powerplay. She then dismissed Amy Jones (40) and Katherine Sciver-Brunt (0) off consecutive deliveries in the final over to peg back England. India make one change, bringing in Shikha Pandey to replace Devika Vaidya. As things stand, England sit top of Group B with two wins from two matches, while India are second, only behind on net run-rate. A win would effectively take India into the knock-out stage of the Women’s T20 World Cup. (LIVE SCORECARD)
