IND Vs ENG: Radha Yadav pulled a surprising catch to dismiss Amy Jones – Watch. Cricket news
Radha Yadav pulled a great diving catch to dismiss Amy Jones in the final, but this was not enough as England took India five wickets in five wickets in a nail-biting finish for the fifth T20I in Birmingham. Despite the defeat, India claimed a five-match series 3–2, marking its first T20I series win against England. Chasing 168, England openers were hovering with Sophia Dunkle (46) and Daniel Wayt-Hodes (56), with 101 runs 101 runs in just 10.4 overs. India bounced back with quick wickets, and the drama came out from the final over, with the need of six runs. Pacer Arundhati Reddy bowled Tammy Beomont with a clever slow ball, then Amy Jones rejected the next ball when Radha Yadav dicted a short leg to complete a brilliant low catch. India turned a late twist with England with a requirement of five off three balls. But Sophie Aclestone and Paiggy Scholfield held their nerves to guide England’s house on final delivery. Earlier, India posted 167 for 7 after scoring 75 off 41 balls from Shafali Verma. She hit 13 fours and one six, reached fifty in just 23 balls-the second joint by an Indian woman in T20I. The contribution of Harmanpreet Kaur (15), Richa Ghosh (24), and Radha Yadav (14) helped India to determine a competitive total. India may have lost the last game, but the series victory was historical. Both teams are now ready for the three -match ODI series starting on July 16 at Southampton.
