That is it from the T20I series. England win the series 2-1 but the hosts gets some positive to move to the red-ball format. The two sides will battle once again in the Test series.
So, this is Arijit Kundu taking your leave alongside co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav.
Heather Knight (England Women Captain): "I think really good learning, expose some players and rest some players. The crowd was amazing, the wickets fell in between and we did feel the pressure. We bowled well to keep them to 80. Charlie was good with the ball, especially in the powerplay. When she bowls, she eases off the pressure from Sophie and Sarah. It was swinging too much, credits to Renuka and our openers failed to swing the bat.
It was good. Yeah, felt like the best option to win the game. Had we got 140, it would've been really good to win the game. Lots of positives actually. In case of early wickets, I think yeah, different conditions and loved to play here."

Nat Sciver-Brunt (Player of the Series): "Yeah. Absolutely. Really happy to perform in the first two games. Had a rest today but a great game of cricket for the fans to enjoy.
It was different to the one we played in the first game. A bit of more turn and grip. There was some consistent bounce on the wicket we played in the first game but the Indian bowlers also bowled well in the last two games.
Just the tempo and which shots I need to bring out at which stage. It's going really well at the moment I guess. Walking out with two wickets down and two runs on the board, it was great to have that partnership in the first game and I always like to contribute to what team needs from me."

Shreyanka Patil (Player of the Match): "Very happy to get the award. First time I am getting a three-fer for India. My friends, family are happy. The experience I got in the WPL and WCPL, it was great. It's a huge experience for me to bowling in tandem with Deepti. She is coming and having a chat with me. Not just on the field but also off the field as we keep conversing about bowling. I enjoyed all the three wickets as it's my work to get the wickets. Thanks!"

Jemimah Rodrigues gets an award for her all-round performance.
Game-changer of the match: Shreyanka Patil.
Harmanpreet Kaur (India Captain): "I'll be fine. I'm used to these niggles. I know. I still remember what he (WV Raman) said. Don't throw yourself while batting. If I talk about the game, we have improved as a team. We want game time. How many games we keep on playing, we keep improving.
The wicket was a bit tricky and we wanted to keep hanging here. Some of the balls were turning and some were going straight. Especially, when the off spinners were bowling. You had to keep thinking which was going to turn and which isn't going to turn. Lefty and righty combination did well for us while chasing."

Smriti Mandhana: “Yeah. Definitely. The first two matches didn’t go our way. We knew we had to play our best with the long tour ahead. Good to get the win heading into the Test match. Back-to-back matches are difficult on the body. I came in to bat early in the innings but happy to contribute.
Would have loved to finish the game. But happy that we got across the line. We bowled pretty well. Maybe. Towards the end, they got 10-15 runs extra. But we knew the fourth innings would be difficult as it was the same wicket but we had to apply ourselves in the chase.
When I got out, it is easier to bat there than watch from the outside. But Amanjot showed great composure and really happy for her. We wanted someone to step up and finish the game when India require those 10-15 runs and happy for her."

10:11 PM IST and Local Time: India denies a whitewash to the England unit and it's the Kaur duo that helps India seal the deal in the end. But it's England that wins the series 2-1 due to their previous lead.
In pursuit of a 128-run target, India lost Shafali Verma early as Freya Kemp knocked her in the third over. A 57-run stand followed between Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, ticking their way to ease off the pressure. This paved the path for a chase as the duo negated the English bowlers watchfully with occasional boundaries. Deepti Sharma eased off two boundaries but failed to last long. It was Mandhana who was a major contributor to this chase with 48 runs off as many balls. Batting wasn't easy but a couple of wickets at the end made things thrilling.
Just when Richa Ghosh was dismissed in the 19th over, Amanjot Kaur came in and graced two gorgeous boundaries amidst the single from Harmanpreet to steer the side past the finishing line.
Earlier, England captain Heather Knight won the coin-flip and decided to bowl first. Renuka Singh Thakur offered the early breakthrough in the first over after cleaning up Maia Bouchier.
Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey tried to tick around for a while but not long enough as Renuka removed the former in the third over. Capsey followed her as Saika Ishaque struck in the first ball of her spell.
Heather Knight and Amy Jones looked positive in their approach and gathered 41 runs for the fourth wicket stand. The stand was broken when Ishaque came back and struck two-in-two balls. Shreyanka Patil assisted her and joined hands in the bowling carnage. The duo cleared the clutter and reduced them to 76-8. However, Knight fought back and ensured that they fetch something to give a fight. Her fifty helped England Women to reach 127 runs in the end.
Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

1 AND THE WINNING MOMENT!💨 India denies a whitewash to this English unit. Full at the off-stump line. Amanjot went for the reverse grip of the bat and steered it past short third region. The ball scurries past and meets the boundary ropes after beating the inner circle fielder. The Kaur duo finishes the game for India with an over to spare!!!
18.5 S Ecclestone to A Kaur
4 FOURRRRR!! Amanjot Kaur drives once again and this is yet another four. One more run needed for India to win this game. Full-toss near the off stump and the batter smashes it through the cover region for a four. Loose delivery from the bowler and Amanjot almost seals the deal.
18.4 S Ecclestone to H Kaur
1 A single from Harman now. Length delivery attacking the stumps. Harmanpreet waits and nurdles it towards mid wicket for a quick single.
