India Women need a win to keep the three-match ODI series against England Women alive. Mithali Raj & Co were humbled in the series openers at County Ground, Bristol by eight wickets with 15.1 overs to spare. Tammy Beaumont (87) and Natalie Sciver (74), scoring at run-a-ball, stitched an unbeaten third-wicket stand of 119 runs in 116 balls. And it proved the difference between the two sides. Before that, Beaumont was involved in a 59-run stand with skipper Heather Knight. India's best stand was 65, between Raj and Deepti Sharma (30 off 46). India, thanks to Raj's patient 72 off 108, posted 201/8, but it never looked enough even with Jhulan Goswami operating at her best. Now in Taunton, the veteran pacer will need support from other bowlers. And the batters, it's high time they the charge against the likes of Katherine Brunt, Anya Shrubsole and Sophie Ecclestone, etc. Follow live updates and cricket scores of the 2nd Women's ODI match between England and India.
