The way they performed and the way their players played, it was better for them to lose because it was a lot of struggle and good performance that they played skillfully but they could not win this match in any way. It was beneficial for the England Women's team that they won without playing the whole match and with this they are increasing their chances of winning. It was a very better struggle and pace that brought the England Women's team back to hard work. The struggle and pressure of this player made it a very difficult game for the India Women's team due to which they could not give such a good target. This match will be very exciting on this date because the performance of both became equal and it has become difficult for us to predict between them.
