After the game, fielding coach Munish Bali described Amanjot as an \u2018impact player.\u2019 \u201cShe bowled the fourth over in the powerplay and did very well. Her fielding was top class. In the second game, she made an immediate impact with a brilliant catch. In the chase on Sunday with 12 needed of as much deliveries, she hit a cover drive off the first delivery she faced,\u201d Bali praised.
Amanjot\u2019s fine show left England\u2019s head coach Jon Lewis impressed. \u201cShe played a lovely little innings under pressure. She should be a much better cricketer for it,\u201d he said.
While India\u2019s fielding was shoddy in the first game, it improved a fair bit in the second and third games. Bali put down the hosts\u2019 initial struggles in the field to a lack of match practice under lights. In July, India played three T20Is in Bangladesh and in September, three T20Is in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, but those were day games. \u201cWe are playing our first game under lights after the WPL. Getting used to playing under lights is difficult but we started practising and the results are there to see,\u201d Bali said.
Saika and Shreyanka made their international debut in the first game and went for 82 in their eight overs. In the third match, they took 6-41 in eight overs, leaving England in trouble on a spin-friendly pitch. The duo was instrumental in the visitors being bowled out for 126 in 20 overs.
\u201cIshaque obviously had a really good WPL and it was not surprising that she has been selected for India. She has got great control. She is really smart, uses the angles and turns the ball, fields well too and can bat too. A real talent,\u201d gushed Lewis. India\u2019s player of the series, though, was pacer Renuka Singh Thakur. Snapping wickets at will in the Powerplay, Renuka was sensational, finishing with seven wickets @ 10.85, and a superb economy rate of 6.33.
In the first T20I, she reduced England to 2-2 in the first over of the match. Showering praise on Renuka after smashing a matchwinning 47-ball 75 in that game, English opener Dani Wyat had said, \u201cShe bowls quite well at the crease and angles it in. But she\u2019s also got the one that goes the other way…that Capsey delivery had seamed away and it has also got me out at the World Cup.”<\/div>\n
