Sciver-Brunt‘s left groin injury will keep him out of the third T20I. One of the best seam-bowling all-rounders in the world, the veteran. She didn’t bowl in the first two bouts. In the first T20I, she scored 66 runs off 42 balls while her colleagues scored 40.
In the crucial third game of the five-match T20I series against India, contested at Kennington Oval in London on Friday, July 4, England will be without their skipper, Nat Sciver-Brunt.
England, losing 0-2 in the series, will need this match. The last two matches of the series will be irrelevant if India wins on Friday and takes a 3-0 lead.
First-time England leader Tammy Beaumont
In Sciver-Brunt’s absence, veteran campaigner Tammy Beaumont will lead. For the first time, the Dover batter will lead England. After being removed for 10 runs in the first T20I, Beaumont top-scored for England with 54 runs off 35 deliveries in the second.
Beaumont, 34, has scored 612, 4487, and 1923 runs in 11 Tests, 129 ODIs, and 106 T20Is.
India is in dominance after winning the first T20I in Nottingham by 97 runs and the second in Bristol by 24. The Women in Blue have scored 210/5 and 181/4 in the two games thanks to their batting. The tourists’ two games have featured different players, which will delight management and supporters. If they win Friday, they’ll win the series with two games left and make history.
