England v India: first women's T20 cricket

Update: Date: 2025-06-28T12:30:23.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Charlotte Edwards' tenure as England coach has got off to a perfect start, winning all six matches against the West Indies across. It might be too early to attach a suffix to this team (Chazball maybe?) but a 100% record is a 100% record. After the Ashes thumping, it's job done so far. India will provide a sterner test. The third-ranked team in both ODIs and T20Is have a clutch of star batters including the returning 21-year-old Shafali Verma who makes a comeback after falling out of favour during India's sorry T20 World Cup campaign last year. Their bowling stocks aren't as well supplied and we could see a couple of new faces across the tour. England will start as favourites on home soil but will know a slip in the opening game will open old wounds. Edwards and her skipper, Nat Sciver-Brunt, will want to lay down a marker early doors. Will they continue to fly the flag of Chazball (I'm doubling down on the moniker), or will they slide back against decent opposition? We'll find out together. Play starts at 2:30pm. Toss and teams and other bits to come til then. If you'd like to get in touch, drop me a line.
