- England 219; India 220-6
- Visiting captain scores winning runs in final over
India pulled off a memorable last-over victory against England in the third ODI at Worcester yesterday, chasing down 220 with three balls to spare to bring up their first win of the multi-format series.
Captain Mithali Raj finished unbeaten on 75 not out from 86 balls, along the way becoming the leading run-scorer of all-time in women’s internationals. At the other end, England’s nemesis in the Bristol Test, Sneh Rana, scored an audacious 24 from 22. She was bowled by Sophie Ecclestone with six balls remaining, but with India needing six from the final over, Mithali stole the strike and hit Katherine Brunt for a final boundary through point to seal the deal.
