Harmanpreet’s Match-Winning Century
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was named both Player of the Match and Player of the Series for her brilliant knock of 102 off 84 balls, including 14 boundaries. But the day truly belonged to 21-year-old Kranti Goud, playing just her fourth ODI, who ran through the England batting lineup and made victory look easier than it seemed.
With her performance, Kranti became the youngest woman in history to take six or more wickets in a One-Day International, breaking a 34-year-old world record held by England’s Jo Chamberlain (7/8 vs Denmark in 1991 at the age of 22).
Spin-Heavy Bowling Attack
Of India’s six bowlers in the match, five were spinners—Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Radha Yadav, and Pratika Rawal. Kranti was the lone pace bowler, and her contribution proved decisive.
India Post 318/5 After Winning the Toss
India opted to bat first and posted an imposing 318/5 in 50 overs. Key contributions came from:
Harmanpreet Kaur – 102 (84 balls)
Jemimah Rodrigues – 50
Smriti Mandhana – 45
Harleen Deol – 45
Richa Ghosh – 38
Pratika Rawal – 26 (as opener)
England Fall Short Despite Big Partnership
Chasing a target of 319, England were bowled out for 305 in 49.5 overs just 13 runs short, denying them what would have been a world-record run chase in women’s ODIs.
The hosts were powered by a brilliant 162-run third-wicket stand between Nat Sciver-Brunt (98 off 105) and Emma Lamb (68 off 81). However, veteran spinner Deepti Sharma dismissed Sciver on 98, narrowly denying her a 10th ODI century and turning the tide in India’s favour.
Bowling Figures for India
Kranti Goud – 6/52 (9.5 overs)
Shree Charani – 2 wickets
Deepti Sharma – 1 wicket
India’s win marks a significant milestone, with the team now having claimed both the T20 and ODI series in England a rare and commendable double triumph on English soil.
