‘Ambitious squad pushing England’
Hindustan Times Thane

“We've got four of the best spinners in world cricket.” Heading into their opener at the Women’s ODI World Cup, England coach Charlotte Edwards was in no doubt how good she felt her spinners were for the campaign on South Asian pitches. And on Friday, England’s fearsome bowling attack came to life in Guwahati.
England put on quite the bowling performance to skittle South Africa for 69 — the second lowest total at an ODI World Cup —and register a 10-wicket win. The four-time champions climbed to the top of the standings with an excellent 3.22 net runrate.
Spin had played its role at Guwahati’s Barsapara stadium in the tournament opener between India and Sri Lanka and it was expected to have a say in the second game as well. Coming into the event, many spinners were expected to do well. However, England, if the performance in their first game is anything to go by, are making a case as one of the best overall spin contingents.
