Commentary

We now come to the conclusion of our coverage of the 3-match T20I series between India and England. There's a one-off Test match lined up between these two sides starting next Thursday. Join us right here on Sportskeeda as we bring you the coverage of the same, and keep following us for a whole lot more! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Bala. See you tomorrow!

Heather Knight, England captain: Really good learning, we decided to rest some of the players and play a few new ones. It was brilliant. Crowd was noisy once again, and to have that composure is a learning. India bowled well, made it tricky for us. Shreyanka was outstanding, made it harder for us to score. We got to a total which was sub-par. Really happy with the series though. Had to adapt to slightly different conditions. Felt like the best option, batting first, to win the game. If we had 140 on the board would have been a really close game. We did well to take the game to the last over. Little bit short in the end. Lots of positives this series, the way we've continued to play after losing early wickets, we've learned a bit about our younger players, and different conditions which we'll be playing on in the years to come.

Natalie Sciver-Brunt is the Player Of The Series! Here's what she has to say: Really happy to perform in the first two games. Had a bit of rest tonight, but it was a special game of cricket one that excited the fans. The wicket was different to the first game, slightly slower, less assistance. The Indians bowled really well to us and made it difficult. Probably the tempo and committing to my shots works best for me. Walking out 2 wickets down with 2 on the board is one situation, there'll be other situations as well. Whatever the teams need from me at the time.

Shreyanka Patil is the Player Of The Match! Here's what she has to say: Very happy, first time me getting a three-for, my parents are watching, my family, my coach. Very proud and happy, and I'd like to continue this performance. The experience I got from the WPL and the India A series, chipping in. Enjoying being a part of this Indian squad. To bowl in tandem with Deepti is very encouraging for me. She's positive and backing me in every phase. Enjoyed all three wickets, as a bowler you enjoy every wicket.

Harmanpreet Kaur (India captain): I will be fine. I am used to these (freak injuries). If I talk about all the games, we have improved. Our team showed today, as we play we keep improving. The wicket was tricky, we wanted to hang in there. Some of the balls, especially from the spinners, some were turning and some were going straight. As a batter you think about which one is going to turn. As a batting group, if we decided to keep on playing and pick the bowlers to go after.

Time for the post-match presentations now.

Smriti Mandhana: I think first two matches did not go our way. But it's a long tour, this win will be important going into the Test match. Back to back matches is difficult for the body. I came in early to bat a little and that helped me. If I had finished the game, would have been even more pleased, but always happy to contribute in a win. We bowled pretty well. Towards the end, they got 10-15 runs extra. The last match was also played on this pitch, we knew that fourth innings alway going to be difficult. It was a good target to chase, but we had to apply ourselves. I think when I got out, it became a bit tricky. The way Aman played in the end, really proud of her. Those last 10-15 runs, the way she did that was brilliant.

Match summary:

India win by 5 wickets with 6 balls to spare

Smriti Mandhana 48(48) | Shreyanka Patil 3/19 (4)
Heather Knight 52(25) | Freya Kemp 2/24 (4)

They made it tough for themselves towards the end, only for a Kaur - no, not the captain - to show how it can be done! Even with the frequent boundaries, England were in the game for a long, long time over the course of that run-chase. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues were keen on taking the game deep and clinching it, but once the two of them departed, there was a bit of flutter in the Indian camp.

Shafali Verma departed very early, falling to a terrible shot against Freya Kemp. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues looked to dig in and build a solid partnership, with Rodrigues looking to play the role of aggressor. She tackled the England spinners with the sweep to good effect, finding the boundaries quite frequently. India went into the drinks break at a commanding position.

Rodrigues departed soon after the drinks break, having been trapped in front by a sharp off-break from Dean. Deepti Sharma came ahead of Smriti, and the two left-handers went on to guide India towards the finish line. With just over 4 overs to go, though, both batters departed in quick succession, and India desperately needed someone to get them past the line as the number of balls caught up with the runs.

Sophie Ecclestone has always been a tough customer to put away. It seemed more so after the left-arm spinner accounted for Ghosh in the penultimate over, but then, up stepped Amanjot Kaur. The all-rounder from Punjab made room for herself, met the ball right on a couple of occasions, and got the job done with an over to spare!

She's had quite the last couple of days, has Amanjot Kaur! A couple of terrific catches, and now, the winning runs for India under a bit of strife!

18.6 Sophie Ecclestone to Amanjot Kaur, FOUR! Amanjot seals it for India! Full delivery on the off-stump, reverse sweeps it fine and the ball races away to the thirdman fence

She's smashed that with a big smile on her face! The scores are level!

18.5 Sophie Ecclestone to Amanjot Kaur, FOUR! Amanjot is taking India home! Ecclestone dishes out an absolute gift. Full toss outside off, she doesn't try to hit it hard. Drives it efficiently through covers

18.4 Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, good length ball on the stumps. Soft hands to square leg and takes a quick one

18.3 Sophie Ecclestone to Amanjot Kaur, length ball on the stumps. Sweeps it to deep square leg

What a hit, indeed! Amanjot with a statement strike under pressure!

18.2 Sophie Ecclestone to Amanjot Kaur, FOUR! What a hit! Off the first ball, off the best bowler in the opposition and under immense pressure! Full ball outside off, leans into it and threads the ball through extra cover

Amanjot Kaur, RHB, comes to the crease

Ghosh tries the ramp, looking to exploit the vacant area behind square and perishes. Sophie Ecclestone strikes at a crucial juncture - an all too familiar tale!

18.1 Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, OUT! Ecclestone once again delivers! How often has she done it for her side! Ghosh goes across trying to scoop it. It's a quicker delivery that goes on with the arm and rattles the leg-stump

Richa Ghosh b Sophie Ecclestone 2 (4b, 0x4, 0x6)
