Verma received an early reprieve in the pursuit of India while Bell dropped his best edge to the third and overturned the ball on the border, the operators of India capitalizing to raise their stand 50 at the beginning of the sixth.

Bell took a brilliant catch with a verma hand in the depths but only when it plunged on the border, which led to a maximum, verma reaching 47 before being upset by Sophie Ecclestone in the ninth.

India continued to accumulate towards their objective of victory while Mandhana finished his half-century T20i, visitors 123-1 when Rodrigues (20) was taken behind Fileer to keep the hopes of England alive.

Capsey dropped a routine catch-up off Kaur, but spinning added another window for the following delivery, while Mandhana is on board and saw the ball loop halfway, while Ghosh survived after a first ball duck after examination when the reruns showed that the ball came out of his helmet.

Ghosh was dropped on five by a diving bell but was removed when Dean produced an astonishing catch-up of Wong in the depths, leaving India requiring 12 of the final, where Bell had Harmanpreet Kaur (23 years old) caught mid-term from the last ball when the captain of India was pursuing a match at six for six to six games six to six to six to six to six games six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six to six games six to six.
