The highly anticipated 4th T20I between India Women and England Women is scheduled for Wednesday, July 9, at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, with play commencing at 11:00 PM IST. This fixture carries significant weight as India, currently holding a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, has the opportunity to secure an unassailable advantage and clinch the series title.
Under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian team has displayed formidable form throughout the series, demonstrating both batting prowess and strategic bowling. Key players like Harmanpreet Kaur herself, along with explosive opener Shafali Verma, have been instrumental in setting the pace. The batting lineup, further bolstered by Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Amanjot Kaur, provides depth and stability. On the bowling front, the spin duo of N Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma, complemented by pacer Arundhati Reddy, has consistently challenged the English batters.
For England, this match is a do-or-die situation. Trailing in the series, they are under immense pressure to improve their batting performance and find a way to counter the disciplined Indian attack.
