    Capsey and Knight Deliver Masterclass as England Down India to Claim T20 Series Victory]

    Capsey and Knight Deliver Masterclass as England Down India to Claim T20 Series Victory] Alice Capsey’s spectacular 82 from 43 balls and Heather Knight’s resurgent 70 not out propelled England to a convincing six-wicket victory over India, securing a 2-1 series triumph and strong momentum ahead of next week’s T20 World Cup. With captain Nat Sciver-Brunt poised to return from injury, Capsey’s blistering knock on Sunday positions her strongly in the frame for the tournament opener, having dismantled India’s bowling attack with nine fours and three sixes during a pivotal stand of 137 with Knight. England found themselves in a tricky position at 14-2 early in the chase, with Sophia Dunkley dismissed for 16 and Danni Wyatt-Hodge for five, but Capsey’s aggressive batting turned the tide dramatically. Knight, whose summer form had raised questions about her selection, delivered a masterful 70 not out from just 42 deliveries, providing crucial support as England chased down 181 with nine balls to spare – their second-highest T20 chase and highest ever in the UK. The victory provides a significant boost for England’s World Cup campaign, with the team now considered among the favourites to break their 2017 trophy drought. England will face India and Australia in warm-up matches before opening their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka on June 12.
