The hosts claimed a consolation win in Mumbai, but England's women suffered a five-wicket loss in the final of their T20 series with India. India had lost the first two games of the three-match series, but the hosts' batters fought back to defeat England's total of 126 with six balls to spare. The foundations of India's response were laid by Smriti Mandhana (48) and Jemimah Rodrigues (29). Freya Kemp (two for 24) and Sophie Ecclestone (two for 43) all shared four wickets. Richa Ghosh was bowled by Ecclestone, leaving India needing 11 runs from as many balls. England might have hoped to win at that moment, but Amanjot Kaur struck two fours to see India home.
