Overview
- The three-match T20I series is level at 1-1 and the deciding game takes place in Taunton on Tuesday, with live coverage on Sony Sports and SonyLIV.
- India have shown strong starts through Yastika Bhatia and Jemimah Rodrigues but have repeatedly lost momentum in the final five overs, leaving the middle order and finishers under scrutiny.
- England have struggled to convert starts into big scores beyond Amy Jones’s 67, though Freya Kemp’s 39 not out in Bristol and contributions from young bowlers have given selectors options.
- Left-arm spinner Shree Charani emerged as a bowling positive for India with three wickets in the second T20I and is being assessed as a potential specialist for English conditions.
- Both teams will use the Taunton result to finalise plans before warm-up matches in Cardiff on June 8 and June 10 and India’s World Cup opener against Pakistan on June 14.
