India then rolled to their target in 44.2 overs with seven wickets in hand, thanks to fifties from Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana – the latter falling just nine runs short of a century. “In practice, we had spoken about trying to be more on the front foot,” Mandhana said. “We learned a few things from England’s mistakes – a few of them got out on the back foot. I am a back-foot player, but I was trying to tell myself to be on the front foot. Kaur did the rest, smashing runs through the leg-side before finally slog-sweeping Davidson-Richards over deep midwicket to seal the win with a maximum.
