Freya Kemp's remarkable unbeaten 39, including a spectacular 24 runs in the final over, revived England's batting and steered them to 168-5 against India. This performance leveled the T20 series, with England securing a 26-run victory in Bristol.
Returning to bowling after a year-long back injury, Kemp proved instrumental with the ball, dismissing key Indian batters Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. Her efforts, coupled with strong bowling from Dean and Ecclestone, stifled India's chase.
The win is a significant boost for England's T20 World Cup preparations, setting up a series decider in Taunton. Despite some concerns with batting consistency and dropped catches, the team can now aim to win the series outright.
