For Indian women’s cricket team, it was a case of joining the party too late. After suffering three successive defeats, the hosts produced a ruthless all-round show to trounce England by eight wickets in the last league match of the women’s T20 international tri-series at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Still, India needed this win badly going into the three-match ODI series against England, which gets underway in Nagpur on April 6. After the loss of her opening partner Amy Jones, Wyatt took England past 50 in no time before falling to a spectacular caught and bowled off Deepti Sharma. Brief scores: England 107 in 18.5 overs (D Wyatt 31, A Patil 3/21, R Yadav 2/16, P Yadav 2/17) lost to India 108 for 2 in 15.4 overs (S Mandhana 62*, H Kaur 20*, D Hazell 2/17) by 8 wickets.
