Captain Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s blistering 84-ball 102 set the stage for India\u2019s thrilling 13-run win over England in the third and final ODI at Chester-le-Street, helping the visitors clinch the series 2-1<\/a>. It was Kaur\u2019s first century since June 2024 and the second-fastest by an Indian woman in ODIs, powering India to a strong total of 318\/5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England mounted a strong chase, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt\u2019s 98 and her 162-run third-wicket partnership with Emma Lamb (68). However, they fell short, bowled out for 305 with one ball to spare. The star of India\u2019s bowling attack was Kranti Gaud, who claimed a sensational 6 for 52 \u2014 her maiden five-wicket haul in WODIs. With this, she became the fifth Indian and the youngest to take a six-wicket haul in women\u2019s ODIs, and only the second Indian to do so against England after Jhulan Goswami in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a touching gesture, Harmanpreet Kaur shared her Player of the Match award with Kranti. \u201cI want to share it with Kranti because Harmanpreet Kaur bowled one of the best spells of her career. It\u2019s a great achievement. We\u2019ve been waiting for fast bowlers like her. She\u2019s brought her experience from the WPL and domestic cricket and is delivering now. I\u2019m really happy for her,\u201d said Harmanpreet Kaur in a video posted by the BCCI on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s women capped off a memorable tour of England, having earlier won the T20I series 3-2. They began the ODI<\/a> leg with a four-wicket win, stumbled in the second match with an eight-wicket loss at Lord\u2019s, but bounced back in style in the decider to claim the series and end the tour on a high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
