England move a step closer to the semi-finals with a win over India

England Women beat India Women by 11 runs

England Women won their third T20 World Cup game against India Women in Gqeberha on Saturday to stay top of group 2.

England batted first and despite the loss of some early wickets managed to reach 151-7, largely thanks to a half century from Nat Sciver-Brunt and 40 from 27 balls from Amy Jones.

In reply Smriti Mandhana got India off to a strong start with 52 runs from 41 balls. Sophie Ecclestone was England's most economical bowler with figures of 1-14 from her four overs. While Sarah Glenn took 2-27 and Lauren Bell 1-22, restricting the Indian run chase to 140-5.

Richa Ghosh tried to see India home with an unbeaten 47 from 34, but it wasn't enough as they ended up 11 runs short of England's total after 20 overs.
