Nat Sciver-Brunt leads England past India despite Renuka Singh five-for

England put one foot in the women’s T20 World Cup semi-finals with a last-over win that was set up by crucial knocks from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones, which meant Renuka Singh’s career-best 5 for 15 went in a losing cause. Despite being 29 for 3 early on, England kept their foot on the pedal to post a challenging 151 in overcast conditions, which they defended with the help of a spin strangle in the middle overs. The result stretched their unbeaten record against India in T20 World Cups to 6-0.

England 151 for 7 (Nat Sciver-Brunt 50, Jones 40, Renuka 5-15) beat India 140 for 5 (Mandhana 52, Ghosh 47*, Glenn 2-27) by 11 runs
