Jemimah And Yastika's Partnership Made The Difference,' Says Dean After ENG Loss

By IANS News May 29, 2026 • 13:40 PM View: 107

Charlotte Dean: England stand-in captain Charlotte Dean admitted the huge partnership between Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia proved decisive as England suffered a 38-run defeat to India in the opening match of the three-game Women’s T20I series at the County Ground.

England made the perfect start after Lauren Bell struck twice in the opening over to dismiss Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, reducing India to 7/2.

However, Yastika and Rodrigues counterattacked brilliantly with a 126-run stand for the third wicket, helping India recover strongly and post 188/7 in 19.5 overs.
