In the fifth over of the chase, Deepti Sharma’s turner was pushed towards Jemimah Rodrigues at mid-wicket. The Indian fielder collected the ball swiftly to stop a quick single and released it to the keeper, Richa Ghosh. However, before the ball could reach the keeper, Beaumont looked to try to boot the ball, which did not sit well with the fielding unit.
Beaumont’s attempt at a kick missed the mark, and there was no chance of a runout, but the travelling side were less than pleased with the batter’s antics.
Team India posted a total of 143 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 29 overs as Smriti Mandana topped the scoring charts with her 42-run knock. Deepti chipped in with a sizeable 30-run contribution.
Sophie Ecclestone shone with the ball as she claimed a three-fer with Emily Arlott and Linsey Smith picking up a couple of wickets each.
Amy Jones led the English chase with her unbeaten 46-run knock as the opener remained unbeaten. Beaumont, who added 34 runs to her side’s cause was scalped by Sneh Rana as the Indian trapped the Englishwoman plumb in front of the wicket.
