Southampton, July 17 (Ians) Former England cricketer Lydia Greenway was full of praise for Nat Sciver-Brunt following her unbeaten 111 in the second Women’s Ashes Odi against Australia but believed the vice-captain needed more support from her teammates to take the hosts over the line.
Nat smashed an unbeaten 111, her sixth Odi century, laced with 10 fours at the Ageas Bowl. But it wasn’t enough to deny Australia a three-run victory and retain the Women’s Ashes.
She came to the crease when England were 86-2 and saw the hosts being reduced to 144/5. Nat led England’s fightback through a 57-run stand with Amy Jones before being the chief run-scorer in an unbeaten 76-run stand with Sarah Glenn.
“Knowing Nat Sciver-Brunt, I don’t think that hundred will mean as much to her – because she didn’t get the side across the line. If England had gone on to win that game,...

London, July 9 (Ians) England beat Australia by five wickets via Dls method in a rain-affected third and final T20I to win the series 2-1 at Lord’s and keep their slim hopes of winning the multi-format Women’s Ashes 2023 alive, here on late Saturday night.
Teenager Alice Capsey (46 off 24) combined with vice-captain Natalie Sciver-Brunt (25 off 25) to steer England to a revised target of 119 off 14 overs with four balls to spare and with five wickets in hand in front of yet another record-breaking crowd in London.
Late wickets helped Australia push England’s chase into the final over; with just two runs to defend, Jess Jonassen trapped Heather Knight lbw first ball, but Dani Gibson iced victory next delivery with a reserve sweep for four.
With this, England inflicted World Champions Australia’s first bilateral series defeat in the format since 2017.

Cape Town, Feb 24 (Ians) South Africa edged England in a thrilling semifinal to reach their first-ever Icc Womens T20 World Cup final with a six-run win here on Friday.
Tazmin Brits’s 68 set South Africa up for a commanding total of 164 for four, as she combined for a 96-run opening stand with Laura Wolvaardt, with no bowler safe from an onslaught.
England looked to respond in the same vein, racing to 50 runs before wickets regularly halted their progress, Brits taking four catches in the performance of a lifetime.
Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight tried to steer England home, but they could not deny South Africa a place in the showpiece on home soil.

Cape Town (South Africa), Feb 20 (Ians) England may have secured qualification for the Icc Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semi-finals but wicket-keeper batter Amy Jones says her side is still searching for a ‘complete performance’ as they prepare to conclude their group stage against Pakistan.
An 11-run victory against India at St George’s Park on Saturday made it three wins from three and England are now looking to seal the top spot with a victory over a Pakistan side whose slim qualification hopes rest on a win here and an Ireland victory over India.
Jones struck 40 from 27 deliveries against India and believes the squad are embracing head coach Jon Lewis’ aggressive batting blueprint.
“We’ve had three good games, but we keep saying we’re still searching for the complete performance. In terms of how we’ve gone about those three games, I think it’s been brilliant,” said Jones.

New Delhi, Jan 6 (Ians) Teenaged all-rounder Alice Capsey has been named in Englands 15-member squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup, to be held from February 10-26 in South Africa. Alice, 18, is named in the squad as she continues her recovery post breaking her collarbone during the tour of the West Indies in December 2022.
“We hope Alice is fit enough, she’s worked incredibly hard alongside the medical staff to get to this point and we’ll give her every chance, but as we saw in the Caribbean the depth of talent and skill in the squad is growing fast and winning tournaments is about everyone collectively embracing the moment and enjoying the journey,” said head coach Jon Lewis in an official statement.

Dubai, Dec 13 (Ians) Continuing her remarkable recent rise, Australia batter Tahlia McGrath jumped three places to become the No.1 ranked T20I batter in the latest Icc Women’s Player Rankings, released on Tuesday, after her superb performances in the first two matches of their ongoing series against India.
The 27-year-old, who struck unbeaten knocks of 40 and 70 in Mumbai, has overtaken compatriots Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney as well as India opener Smriti Mandhana to become the fourth Australian and 12th batter to top the women’s T20I rankings.
Mooney had been at the top since August 3 this year when she overtook Lanning. Icc Hall of Famer Karen Rolton is the other Australian to have been at the top of the rankings.

London, Dec 8 (Ians) England women’s team has said that they have added Maia Bouchier and Alice Davidson-Richards to their T20I squad for the series against West Indies after teenaged cricketer Alice Capsey was sent back home due to a broken collarbone.
Maia, 24, has played 14 T20Is for England since her debut in September 2021 and featured in all five matches for England at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. But she didn’t get a central contract and wasn’t initially included in the 15-player squad for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies.
But with Capsey injured due to a broken left collar bone, she is now back in the T20I setup with Davidson-Richards, who was to fly home after the third Odi in Antigua on Friday and will now stay with the team for the five T20Is against the West Indies.

Alice, Freya, Lauren and Issy all made international debuts during the recently ended English summer while Charlie and Emma first played for their country late last year.
For the first time, England Women’s central contracts will run from November 1, to align with professional contracts in the women’s regional game, which were boosted by a 3.5 million pound funding increase last month.
Jonathan Finch, Director of England Women’s Cricket, said the introduction of six new players “provides a new look and feel to the group”.

Dubai, Oct 11 (Ians) India women’s team allrounder Deepti Sharma has moved to a career-best third position in the latest Icc T20I Rankings for bowlers with her exceptional performance in the Asia Cup, currently underway in Bangladesh.
The 25-year-old off-spinner picked up 3/27 against Pakistan, 2/13 against Bangladesh and 2/10 versus Thailand.
Sharma’s rise has seen her go past West Indies’ in-form star Hayley Matthews, South African pacer Shabnim Ismail and Australia’s Megan Schutt in the rankings. However, despite her fine form, two English players remain ahead of Sharma in the rankings, with Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone in second and first position respectively.
Sharma’s efforts have also seen her inch ahead of Ashleigh Gardner in the All-rounders’ Rankings, meaning the Indian now lies in a career-best third spot, behind Matthews and New Zealand cricketer Sophie Devine.
But arguably the most notable shift by an All-rounder has come from New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr.

Sarah, whose career-best haul of 4/23 helped her team to a nine-wicket victory and won her the Player of the Match award, is at a career-best-equalling second position and just 13 rating points adrift of Sophie.
She has been ranked second on a few occasions in the past too, most recently last month, before she was overtaken by her team-mate, veteran pacer Katherine Brunt, who has been rested from the T20I series against India.

Thought we kept India to a good score; girls did brilliantly to play straight on skiddy pitch: Jones
Chester-le-Street, Sep 11 (Ians) In her first match as England skipper, wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones was pleased by her team restricting the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India to a good score and then doing a brilliant job of playing straight on a skiddy Durham pitch.
Leg-spinner Sarah Glenn took career-best figures of 4/23 and opener Sophia Dunkley hit her highest T20I score of 61 not out as England beat India by nine wickets in the series opener. After Amy won the toss and asked India to bat, her bowlers, led from the front by Sarah, restricted the visitors to 132/7.
In chasing down 133, Sophia and Danni Wyatt (24) put on 60 for the opening wicket before young Alice Capsey continued her sparkling international form with a 20-ball 32 to see England home with seven overs to spare.
“I think (in the) first game of the series it’s important to start confidently and the girls did that, so it was brilliant to see.

Chester-le-Street, Sep 11 (Ians) Saturday was a night to remember for England leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, who produced her career-best figures of 4-23 at a damp pitch on the Riverside Ground in Durham to set the foundation for the hosts’ nine-wicket win over India in the T20I series opener.
After the match ended, Sarah admitted that the conditions were difficult for her to grip the ball well and had to bowl on a stump-to-stump line to get the better of the Indian batters.
Her first three balls went for six runs, but Sarah bounced back to have Shafali Verma holing out in the deep before trapping Dayalan Hemalatha lbw.
She then castled captain Harmanpreet Kaur with a ball which kept really low and completed her four-fer when debutant batter Kiran Navgire slog-swept straight to fielder in the deep, applying brakes on India’s scoring in middle overs.

Chester-le-Street, Sep 11 (Ians) Despite the absence of stalwarts such as regular captain Heather Knight, veteran seamer Katherine Brunt and all-rounder Nat Sciver, England thrashed the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India by nine wickets in the opening Women’s T20I at the Riverside Ground here late on Saturday to take the lead in the three-match series.
Riding on an unbeaten half-century from Sophia Dunkley (61 off 41 balls), England overhauled the meagre target of 132/7 for the loss of just one wicket — Danni Wyatt (24) — in just 13 overs to complete the mauling of the visitors.
After leg-spinner Sarah Glenn wrecked India’s innings, returning figures of 4/23 — her best figures in T20Is — on a wet Durham ground, Dunkley anchored the chase, smashing eight boundaries and a six as the hosts cruised to victory with 42 balls to spare.
Dunkley, who was lucky to survive several calls, recorded her second half-century and the highest score in the format.

London, Sep 6 (Ians) The England Women on Tuesday named a 14-member squad for the upcoming T20I series against India, starting September 10, with young fast bowler Lauren Bell earning her maiden call-up in the format.
England will be without the services of their regular captain Heather Knight, who is recovering from a hip injury sustained during the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Nat Sciver will continue leading the side in her absence.
Another notable absentee from the squad is England’s leading wicket-taker in the format, Katherine Brunt, who will miss the three-match series to prioritise her rest and recovery.
The 21-year-old Lauren Bell has been named as Brunt’s like-for-like replacement in the squad on the back of her impressive performance in The Hundred. She finished the tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker with 11 scalps in eight matches, including a best of 4/10.
