T20I TRI- SERIES Melbourne: The Indian womenu2019s cricket team will have to address its batting woes when it takes on England in a crucial league match of the T20I tri- series here today.
A mid innings slump led to Indiau2019s four- wicket defeat in their previous match against hosts Australia. This was after beating England by five wickets in the tournament- opener last week.
Except for opener Smriti Mandhana ( 35) and captain Harmanpreet Kaur ( 28), Indian batters showed complete lack of application on a pitch offering extra bounce at Canberra.
India lost their last six wickets for 21 runs to concede the match with seven balls to spare.
The Indian bowling attack did all it could, stretching the game till the penultimate over but there were not enough runs on the board.
The tournament, which is an important preparatory event ahead of the T20 World Cup beginning in Australia on February 21, is intriguingly poised with all the three teams on two points from as many matches after one win and one defeat each.
