A dramatic finale in Guwahati saw England Women wrap up a 3-0 Twenty20 series victory over India on Saturday.

In a game the hosts should have won comfortably, England emerged victorious thanks to an incredible final over from Kate Cross who could have finished the match with a hat-trick.

The 27-year-old took two wickets in the final over as India, who only needed three runs from the last six balls to win, fell one short of their target of 120.

India captain Smriti Mandhana scored 58 off 39 balls, leaving her team needing just 18 runs from 18 balls at one stage, but they were unable to get over the line and lost for the seventh straight T20 game.

Opener Tammy Beaumont top-scored for England with 29 off 27 balls in a total of 119 for six, having been 51 without loss at one stage.

Cross’ heroics with the ball secured the win, with Anya Shrubsole, Linsey Smith and Laura Marsh also taking a wicket each.
