India look for runs from Harman, Shafali

India will hope that skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and hard-hitting opener Shafali Verma will return to run-making ways in their quest to clinch the women's T20I series during the fourth match here on Wednesday.

India are leading 2-1 in the five-match series but England exposed a few chinks in the visitors’ ranks in the third game at the Oval last week during a five-run win.

Shafali looked in prime touch during a 25-ball 47 and Harmanpreet made 17-ball 23 but both batters failed to build on the start, robbing India some momentum.

Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur have so far shouldered India’s batting, and they would welcome a stronger support from these two experienced campaigners.
