Anya Shrubsole and Jenny Gunn starred with the ball as England got their first win of the Women’s World Twenty20 on the board against India.
The 2009 winners headed into the match in Sylhet looking to bounce back from an opening defeat to West Indies and they did just that, restricting India to 95 for nine after losing the toss.
Pace bowler Shurbsole was the pick of the attack thanks to remarkable figures of 3-6 from her four overs, while Gunn weighed in with 3-15, as India captain Mithali Raj fought an admirable lone hand for her side by scoring 57.
Solid contributions from Sarah Taylor and Lydia Greenway meant the run chase was never really in doubt and it was left to Gunn to secure a five-wicket triumph with 11 balls to spare.
