Should the England women’s cricket team be worried about their record collapse?
In response to a total of 171 England, the Indian team managed to score 166 runs in their 20 overs, which was reduced by five runs. This defeat marked India’s first loss on his ongoing England tour.The match highlighted a unique record from the beginning of this year during a women’s T20 World Cup Asia qualifier match in Bangkok. The UAE team retired all its 10 batsmen after reaching 192/0 against Qatar in 16 overs, becoming the first example in T20I history, where a team retired more than two batsmen in an innings.This unusual decision of the UAE resulted in eight ducks in his innings. The subsequent collapse of Qatar for 29 runs made the total number of ducks in the match to 15, setting a new record for the most duck in a female T20I match.The series now moved to Old Trafford in Manchester for the fourth match for July 9.
