India Women Take 2-0 Lead Over England with 24-Run T20I Win in Bristol

India women's cricket team secured a commanding 24-run victory over England in the second T20I at Bristol, taking a 2-0 lead in the five-match series and moving close to an overall series win. The match-winning performances came from Amanjot Kaur, who scored an unbeaten 63 and took crucial wickets, and Jemimah Rodrigues, who contributed a 63-run innings; their 93-run partnership rescued India from an early slump of 31 for 3. Despite England's Tammy Beaumont scoring a fighting fifty, England were restricted to 157 for 7 as India defended a competitive total of 181 for 4, marking England's first-ever T20I loss at Bristol. England's early wickets and improved fielding posed challenges, but India's strong middle and late innings acceleration, including a significant partnership between Amanjot and Richa Ghosh, sealed their victory. The win highlighted the emergence of young Indian talents and their growing dominance in women's cricket, with Rodrigues and Amanjot gaining attention for their all-round contributions. England's batting struggles, including early dismissals of key players and a critical run-out of Beaumont, ultimately hindered their chase.
