Heather Knight will lead her squad into action once again when England take on India on Saturday. Their first fixture saw them defeat West Indies by seven wickets with 33 balls remaining while their second match saw them beat Ireland by four wickets with 34 balls left.

Nat Sciver-Brunt was the player of the match in their win against West Indies, thanks to her 40* and Alice Capsey was the standout player against Ireland as she hit 51 off 22 balls. She now holds the joint record for the fastest fifty in women’s T20 history. Ireland were bowled out for just 105 runs with three wickets apiece for Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone. Fellow spinner Charlie Dean also secured two wickets to reduce Ireland’s run-rate severely.
