Capsey smashed a match-winning 82 off just 43 balls and shared a decisive 137-run partnership with Heather Knight (70 not out) as England recovered from 38\/3 to register a six-wicket victory in the third and final T20I, sealing the three-match series 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The chase was England\u2019s highest successful pursuit in women\u2019s T20Is since 2018 and came after India had posted a competitive 180\/5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Obviously really pleasing to get over the line. We spoke a lot as a batting unit about chasing those bigger totals, so to get this one over the line was really pleasing,\u201d Capsey said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England were under pressure after losing three wickets inside the power play, but Capsey said the presence of the experienced Heather Knight helped maintain calm in the middle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was pretty calm over there with Heather. She\u2019s a very experienced campaigner now, so it was always nice batting with her. It was just about hitting through the line of the ball. It was a lovely pitch out there and trying to stay with the rate,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen it got to the second ten overs, it was about finishing the game as quickly as possible and not leaving it too late,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Capsey credited her aggressive counter-attacking approach for helping England regain momentum after India\u2019s bowlers made an excellent start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI thought upfront they bowled pretty well. When they\u2019re bowling a length, it\u2019s quite hard to get away. So using my feet was a key one for me. Aiming straight as well. The ball was coming on pretty nicely to bat, so not trying to over-hit it was pretty key and just trying to get that boundary early,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I have a favourite. Just batting for England is amazing and being able to contribute and score runs is the main thing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
