The Indian women’s cricket team lost the first T20I against England by 18 runs after the hosts set a target of 178 in 20 overs.
Batting first, England were on top of their game as Nat Sciver smashed fastest fifty in T20Is from her country and took the attack to the Indian bowlers.
However, there was a moment of brilliance in the field that restricted England from a bigger score as Harleen Deol took a stunning catch on the boundary, to get rid of Amy Jones in the 19th over of the first innings.
Jones tried to clear the boundary on the off side with an inside out shot over cover, but Deol timed her jump to perfection to complete the catch before throwing it back up in the air and diving over the boundary line to save the six and complete the dismissal.
The fantastic piece of fielding of course caught everyone’s attention but could not help swing the momentum India’s way.
