Sciver-Brunt led England in the first two T20Is, both of which India won - the first by 97 runs, thanks to a century from Smriti Mandhana, and the second by 24 runs, with Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur scoring 63 each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sciver-Brunt did not bowl in either game, a decision made by the team management ahead of the series to manage her workload. She did contribute with the bat in the opening match, scoring 66 off 42 balls - England's only notable effort in their total of 113 all out. However, she sustained an injury during the second match, where she managed just 13 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ahead of the third T20I, Beaumont was asked about Sciver-Brunt\u2019s chances of returning for the final two games. She responded, \u201cThat\u2019s something we don\u2019t know just yet. Our medical team is doing everything they can. She\u2019s having a scan today, so we\u2019ll know more. It\u2019s touch and go for Manchester. Whether she plays one or both, I just want to do my best for the team and will gladly welcome Nat back when she\u2019s fit.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
