India eye maiden women's T20I series victory over England
LONDON: Riding a wave of momentum, India will look to secure their maiden women's T20I series triumph over England when they lock horns with the hosts in the third game of a five-match series here on Friday. Harmanpreet Kaur and been in red-hot form, having handed England a record-shattering 97-run defeat in the series-opener before sealing a 24-run win in Bristol, England women's first-ever T20I loss at the venue, to take a commanding 2-0 lead. In 2006, India had beaten England in a lone match played in Derby. Since then, the Women in Blue have fallen short in every women's T20I series against England, both at home and away. This dominant performance comes as a timely boost for India as they continue to adapt to English conditions, a crucial exercise in the build-up to next year's ICC Women's T20 World Cup to be held in England. So far, the Indian unit has functioned like a well-oiled machine. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, who scored a century, and Harleen Deol were instrumental with the bat in the opener. In the second match, Amanjot Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues rescued the visitors from a precarious position with vital half-centuries, propelling India to a formidable total. However, the spotlight now turns to big-hitting opener Shafali Verma, who will be eager to make a statement. Back in the squad, Shafali has struggled to get going with scores of 20 and 3 in the series. She will be desperate for a defining innings. Skipper Kaur, who missed the opener as a precautionary measure following a head injury sustained during a warm-up match, will also look to spend some time in the middle after her two-ball stay in the second match. The Indian bowling attack has stepped up admirably in the absence of pace spearheads Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar. Left-arm spinner Sree Charani has emerged as the breakout star in her debut series. The 20-year-old leads the wicket charts with six scalps and also has the best economy rate in the series -- a frugal 5.11. For the hosts, one of main issues has been the inability of openers Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt-Hodge to provide a solid start. While Dunkley has enjoyed some good beginnings, Wyatt-Hodge has made a total of 18 runs across five innings this summer, including three successive ducks. Their bowling too has been sub par. Squads: India: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia (wk), Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh (wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Sayali Satghare, Deepti Sharma, Kranti Goud, Arundhati Reddy, Shree Charani, Radha Yadav. England: Natalie Sciver-Brunt (c), Tammy Beaumont (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Amy Jones (wk), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Paige Scholfield, Em Arlott, Lauren Bell, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Linsey Smith, Issy Wong. Match starts at 11:05pm IST.

Malala Yousafzai calls out FIFA and ICC for failing brave Afghan female athletes in exile
Malala Yousafzai calls out FIFA and ICC for failing brave Afghan female athletes in exile(Image Source: Getty Images) Life for women changed drastically once the Taliban reclaimed control in Afghanistan in 2021. Schools were shut for girls, gyms were shut, and women athletes were not allowed to play and train anymore. Now, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai is asking big sports groups to help Afghan women who had to leave their country. She says letting them play again is not just about sport, it's a way to fight back against the Taliban's rules. Groups like FIFA and ICC must now decide how to support these brave women. Why does Malala Yousafzai believe empowering Afghan female athletes is so important In a CNN Sports interview on July 1, 2025, Malala Yousafzai said that giving Afghan female athletes better chances to compete shows real 'bravery and courage.' She wants international groups to act now. She said: 'They can definitely find opportunities for these players to play, and this is a form of resistance against the Taliban'. The Taliban forbid women from sports, school, and public places. Female athletes have fled to places such as Australia but they are in exile. When Malala Yousafzai met the Afghan women's soccer team at the 2023 Women's World Cup, she felt their plight was especially tragic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo She said: 'It was truly heartbreaking … while stadiums were full, there was a team from Afghanistan who cannot play in their country'. Malala Yousafzai points to FIFA ICC and international groups to lead change Malala Yousafzai sees promises already made. In 2025, FIFA approved a Strategy for Action for Afghan women's football. They said a refugee Afghan women's team will begin 'as soon as possible.' Malala Yousafzai calls this a 'significant step forward' but she says it must go further. She also says the ICC set up a task force in April 2025 to support displaced female cricketers and offered help via a special fund. But many feel sports bodies are slow to act. Afghan player Mursal Sadat said the delay has already cost them two World Cup chances. Malala Yousafzai believes that if FIFA, ICC, and others are bold, they can give these women a platform. She said: 'Playing and practicing every right for Afghan women is a form of resistance … against the Taliban'.
