Kemp’s late-overs blitz
Freya Kemp turned a competitive total into a commanding one with a brutal 39 off 13 balls, swinging the match in England Women’s favour and setting up a 26-run win. England were steady rather than spectacular through the middle, but Kemp’s clean striking in the final stretch flipped the narrative. India’s chase began with intent, yet the required rate kept creeping up as wickets fell at key moments.
England’s death overs surge
The decisive phase was England’s finish: 53 runs in the last five overs at 13.2 an over. India had controlled large parts of the innings — Shree Charani’s 3/25 kept England to 115/3 after 15 — but the final overs unravelled. Kemp’s acceleration, supported by a best stand of 41, ensured England ended at 168/5, a total that demanded sustained tempo from the chase.
Kemp and Dean seal it
Kemp was the match’s defining figure: her 39 off 13 provided the separation, and her 2/15 in two overs helped puncture the chase. Charlie Dean’s 2/20 across four overs was the control act, repeatedly dragging India back after the strong start. For India, Charani’s three-for was the standout effort with the ball, while Mandhana (32 off 25) and Bhatia (33 off 36) gave the chase its best chance before the late collapse.
India’s chase loses shape
India’s powerplay (49/1) suggested they were ahead of the curve, with Smriti Mandhana and Yastika Bhatia adding 43 to steady the pursuit. The momentum shifted in the middle overs as England’s bowlers tightened lines and forced risk. By the time the last five overs arrived, India needed a big finish but managed only 28 while losing five wickets, the chase fragmenting under pressure.
