England Women's Cricket Team (PC: Twitter)
Following a 1-2 loss in the three-match T20I series against England, India started One Day Internationals with a bang. The Women in Blue have taken a considerable lead of 1-0 by scoring a victory in the first ODI by seven wickets. It was a terrific all-round performance by the visitors as they outclassed England in all three facets of the game.
Meanwhile, it was a bad day at the office for the English batters. Put to bat first, the host delivered a lukewarm performance. England started the innings on a poor note as they lost both their opening batters, Emma Lamb and Tammy Beaumont, within nine overs at a score of 21. The right-arm seamer Meghna Singh gave the first breakthrough to her team, followed by the veteran Jhulan Goswami.
