Having made her international debut at the age of 12, cricketer Mahika Gaur made history on Friday as she made her international debut for the second time, but on this occasion for England.

As England took on Sri Lanka in a T20I, Mahika found her name in the playing XI. The crafty left-arm seamer. On her big day, Mahika also bagged her maiden international wicket, getting the better of Chamari Athapaththu.

However, if it wasn't for rain playing spoilsport, Mahika could've gotten more wickets. Batting first, England went on to post 186 runs on the board, with Danielle Wyatt and Alice Capsey being the leading run-scorers.

Chasing the target, Sri Lanka were 55/3 in 6 overs when rain put a halt to the match. England were declared winners by 12 runs, via DLS method.
