India Women vs England Women, 5th T20I LIVE Score Updates: The Indian women's cricket team will be hoping to wrap up a convincing 4-1 series victory when they take on England in the final T20I of the five-match series. India have already clinched the series, winning the first, second and fourth T20Is. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has already slammed a century in the series, while good contributions have been made by batters like Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur. Left-arm spinners Radha Yadav and Shree Charani have also made their mark in the series. India take on England in a three-match ODI series after this, and will be hoping to enter that with confidence. (Live Scorecard) Listen to the latest songs, only on Listen to the latest songs, only on Listen to the latest songs, only on IND-W vs ENG-W, 5th T20I LIVE ! For England, this final match offers a chance for some much-needed redemption. Despite glimpses of individual brilliance, they have struggled to find consistency as a unit, particularly against India's spin dominance. With Nat Sciver-Brunt ruled out and Tammy Beaumont leading the side, the hosts will be desperate to salvage some pride and build momentum for the upcoming ODI series. Edgbaston, known for its balanced pitch that offers something for both batters and bowlers, could provide the perfect stage for a competitive finale. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates. ! India's success in this series has been a testament to their all-round strength. The batting, spearheaded by Smriti Mandhana and ably supported by Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues, has provided strong starts and crucial contributions. However, it's the spin attack that has truly baffled the English batters, with Radha Yadav, Shree Charani, and the experienced Deepti Sharma consistently picking up wickets and stifling the scoring rate. Their excellent fielding, particularly highlighted by Arundhati Reddy's catches in the fourth T20I, has also been a key factor in their commanding performances. ! Hello and a warm welcome to everyone for the fifth and final T20I between India Women and England Women. India Women have already made history by securing their first-ever T20I series win on English soil, holding an unassailable 3-1 lead. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will be looking to cap off a dominant performance with a 4-1 series victory, further solidifying their impressive form ahead of the upcoming ODI series. ...MATCH DAY... ! We are down to the final T20I of the five-match series between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India's convincing win in Manchester has sealed the fate of the series and England can only hope to end the series on a high and take the momentum into the ODI series. Tammy Beaumont and Co. were thoroughly tested by spin at Old Trafford, where they could only post 126 on the board. In response, India's openers broke the back of the chase early. Although the scoring slowed down after their dismissals, the home side couldn't find the wickets to mount a comeback, and India crossed the line with three overs to spare. The absence of Natalie Sciver-Brunt due to a groin injury has been telling for England in the last two games, especially with their batting failing to fire collectively. Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt-Hodge showed promise in the third match, but beyond that, there hasn't been much to write home about. With the ball, Lauren Bell has been the shining light, but the likes of Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, and Issy Wong have struggled to make the desired impact. India, by contrast, have been the superior side across departments, particularly in the field, which has historically been their Achilles' heel. With the bat, Smriti Mandhana has led the charge, continuing what has been a standout year for her. With the ball, Shree Charani has been the pick of the bowlers in her first T20I series, claiming 10 wickets and emerging as a real bright spark. With the series already in the bag, India may look to rotate their squad and give opportunities to those on the bench. The seam duo of Kranti Gaud and Sayali Satghare, along with keeper-batter Yastika Bhatia, are yet to feature in the series and could be handed a chance in this final game. It has been a historic series for Harmanpreet Kaur and her team as this marks their first multi-match T20I series win over England. Can they finish it off with a bang? Or will England salvage some pride and end the series on a high? We shall find out.

Relive PSG's perfect campaign to reach FIFA Club World Cup 2025 final
Paris Saint-Germain have stamped their dominance on the world stage, marching into the FIFA Club World Cup final after a scintillating 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid in the semi-finals. With Champions League, Ligue 1, and Coupe de France trophies already in their cabinet this season, PSG now have the opportunity to cap off an extraordinary campaign with global glory. A season defined by collective brilliance Following the departures of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Neymar, many questioned whether PSG could maintain its elite status. Instead, under the steady leadership of Luis Enrique, the club has responded with a united squad of stars rather than a single superstar. 'We want 11 stars…maybe 14–15 in our squad,' Enrique emphasized at a press conference. 'There isn't a single PSG fan acting as the star, the whole of the Parc des Princes is the star, and that's what we want on the pitch.' Captain Marquinhos, witnessing the transformation firsthand, praised the squad's unity and performance: 'In terms of results, this is definitely the best team I have been in at PSG…Taking it all into consideration, this is the team that has done most collectively.' Final showdown with Chelsea On Sunday, PSG will face Chelsea in what promises to be a tightly contested final at MetLife Stadium. Enrique was quick to caution against complacency: 'If you think this game will be a walk in the park, you really don't know what football is about…Chelsea have talented individuals and they can defend under pressure. Their team is on par with us.' Marquinhos echoed that sentiment, recognizing the rarity and importance of the opportunity: 'It's a golden opportunity in a competition that happens every four years…In a final, it's a 50–50 bet, but we really want this title and that's our mindset at the moment.' A legacy in the making PSG's journey through this global tournament has been a testament to their collective strength, tactical discipline, and unwavering determination. Rather than relying on star power, they have built their success on shared responsibility and depth. As Enrique so aptly put it, this squad is 'above individual players', a cohesive unit destined to leave a lasting legacy. With one match standing between them and history, PSG have a golden chance to complete a historic quadruple and cement their reputation as the world's premier footballing side.

India vice-captain Rishabh Pant topples several milestones, including Dhoni's decade-long record
London [UK], July 12 (ANI): India vice-captain Rishabh Pant dashed records for fun and earned a place in history after his tenacious effort with the bat on Day 3 of the third Test against England at the 'Home of Cricket', Lord's. Pant etched his name in the six-hitting record books by surpassing the legendary Vivian Richards for tonking the most in Tests against England. The explosive southpaw also went level with former red-ball skipper Rohit Sharma for hammering the joint second-highest number of sixes for India in Test cricket. Apart from his six-hitting fest, the 27-year-old southpaw eclipsed the legendary MS Dhoni to emerge as the Indian wicketkeeper-batter with the most runs in a tour to England. Pant also became the first visiting wicketkeeper to amass 400-plus runs in a single Test series in England. Despite nursing a finger injury that he sustained during the opening day of the Test, Pant fought valiantly, suffered blows and battled through pain to steer India through the opening session with his stroke mastery. During his rollicking 74(112), he smoked the ball into the stands for two towering maximums to break Richards' milestone for most sixes against England in the format. Pant has 35 sixes under his belt against England, bettering the former West Indies stalwart's tally of 34. The belligerent swashbuckler went level with Rohti's tally of 88 sixes for India in Test cricket, just two shy of becoming the joint-highest with Virender Sehwag (90). Pant achieved the feat in 46 Tests, 21 fewer than Rohit's 67. The Indian vice-captain has 416 runs to his name in three Tests, the most runs by an Indian wicketkeeper on English soil. Dhoni held the record for more than a decade, courtesy of his 349-run tour he savoured during India's tour of England in 2014. Pant's game-changing exploits ended on the final ball before the end of the first session. While attempting to steal a quick single, Pant was late to set off and was caught short of the crease by England Test captain Ben Stokes' brilliance. He picked up the ball, turned towards the non-striker's end and rattled the stumps with his precise throw, forcing Pant to return on 74(112). (ANI)
