England underwent their heaviest loss of all time when it fell to a defeat of 97 points against India during the first female T20i in Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Chasing 211 To win, England slipped to 58-3 in the PowerPlay after the Sophia Dunkley (7) and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (0) openers were rejected at a lower cost and Tammy Beaumont (10) was upset by Deepti Sharma (2-18).
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt scored with 66, raising his 18th half-century T20i, but the rest of the programming of strikers collapsed around her, and the hosts were overthrown for 113 with 5.1 over the remaining.
Earlier, the captain of India, Smriti Mandhana (112), won his first ton t20i 51 balls while putting India at 210-5 with Lauren Bell (3-27) of England being the choice of quantities.
Bell took two counters in the 18th to reject Richa Ghosh (12) and Jemimah Rodrigues (0) for a duck, but England could not prevent India from getting the most out of the flat terrain and the fast outside field.
India is now leading the 1-0 series of five games with the second match that takes place in Bristol on Tuesday July 1st live Sky Sports Cricket.
England fell from 88 to 6 to 113 all in four letters while they were fighting to play against high-level quality spinners of India, with the beginner Shree Charani (4-12) having a dream to start his T20i career with a four.
After the operators of England were dismissed, Sciver-Bunt managed to stabilize the ship with a burst of borders, but his teammates could not beat alongside him.
Amy Jones (1) was perplexed by Ghosh despite an escape behind the stumps because she was unable to put her back leg behind the line in time.
Alice Capsey (5) was the first window of Charani, the versatile of England, Tamely Tamely to Short Third, Arundhati Reddy taking the capture.
Arlott broke Radha Yadav (2-15) for a six on the Fox Road stand, but was rejected two balls later after catching an attack edge that was captured in the covers, leaving England on 88-6.
Ecclestone (1), trying to accelerate, struck Charani to Deep Midwicket, but could not have enough and Rodrigues took the catch.
Ghosh then took a clear plug behind the stumps while Lauren spin (2) tried to hit Reddy through the side but struck behind.
Charani struck twice to remove the captain of England, who struck behind and was distributed in review before Bell (2) hides in Midwicket to fill the record victory.
Captain of India Smriti Mandhana (112) marked his first Ton T20i in just 51 bullets when she helped his team to a authority.
Mandhana and Shafali Verma (20 years old) shared a puffy opening partnership worth 77 points, because they benefited from the most power, reaching 11 limits and two between them before EM Arlott (1-38) made the breakthrough.
Verma fled in the middle, where Sophie Ecclestone, who was returning to international cricket after taking a break, took a simple catch.
However, Harleen Deol (43) continued the assault, reaching seven limits when it was released from 23 balls, helping India at 171-1 before it was taken in the depths by Arlott Off Bell in the 16th.
Bell then struck twice to fight against a momentum in favor of England, by removing Ghosh and Rodrigues, Sciver-Brunt taking a good hand to reject the latter, while India fell in 193-4.
Ecclestone struck in the final, winning the prized scalp of the Centurion of India, which has badly hidden the off-turn where the captain of England maintained himself.
England made several errors on the ground, notably Ecclestone, Wyatt-Hodge and Capsey, the sockets with other players were badly led on the borderline, which all cost England at the end.
Captain of England Nat Sciver-Brunt:
“India is a world class side and has challenged us a lot today.
“We have probably not been as good as we wanted and we did not quite support it on the ground as we did against the Antilles (earlier in summer).
“You like to take each catch, but that did not happen, so something so that we can work.
“We sometimes executed well with the ball and have gained a lot of energy towards the end of the sleeves. There are things we can take.”
Player of the match, Captain of India Smriti Mandhana (112 out of 62 balls):
“My first T20i Hundred was long to come.
“I used to go out in the 70s and 80s, but I was talking with a teammate before this tour and we said it was high time that I had a century.
“I have timed the ball and I was looking forward to hitting.
“The way the quisors executed the plans were exceptional. We have four additional games, so we have to keep the momentum, keep good habits.”
