Nandni Sharma's three wickets on international debut followed by half-centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia, guided India to a 38-run win in the opening game of their three-match T20I series against England here at the County Ground.

The 38-run victory is the India women's second-biggest win margin against England in T20ls, after 97 runs at Trent Bridge in 2025. Moreover, Nandni became the second Indian pacer to pick a 3-fer on Women's T20l debut, after Soniya Dabir 3/23 vs ENG-W in Mumbai in 2010.
