#3 England’s pace battery fails to deliver
Trending
England boast two of the top 10 ODI wicket-takers in women’s cricket history, Jenny Gunn and Katherine Brunt. However, on the day, both of them failed to pick even a single wicket among them which led the hosts’ downfall in the match.
Brunt opened the bowling with Anya Shrubsole, only to be smacked all around the park by Mandhana. The Indian opener went on to hit four boundaries in the Englishwoman’s second over, which was the end of her first spell. She came on to bowl five more overs in her second spell but didn’t trouble the wickets column and ended with figures of 7-1-50-0.
Gunn, on the other hand, bowled her full quota of 10 overs. She was fairly economic as well, however, what hurt her team was her failure to make a breakthrough. Skipper Knight went back to Gunn twice in hope that the 31-year-old will break a partnership, but to no avail. The right-hander registered figures of 10-0-46-0.
