England Women 126-3 beat India Women 122-8 by seven wickets
Alice Capsey’s unbeaten 38 guided England Women to victory at Bristol and with it secured a 2-1 series win in the Vitality IT20 series for Amy Jones’s depleted team.
The bowlers put in a fine team performance to restrict India to 122-8. Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the attack with 3-25 and she was awarded Player of the Match, but fellow spinners Bryony Smith and Sarah Glenn also played a major role.
Sophia Dunkley set a strong foundation with 49 – and she was voted both Player of the Series and Vitality Player of the Summer – but it was Capsey who finished the job with a nerveless 38.
The two teams now travel to Hove to start the Royal London ODI series on Sunday.
