All-round performance from Issy Wong played a decisive role as England Women's A defeated India Women's A by two wickets to clinch the three-match T20 series 2-1 on Sunday.

In a low-scoring thriller, India Women's A fought hard until the end but paid the price for poor batting, as they were shot out for 101 in 19.2 overs after electing to bat on a slow turner at the Wankhede Stadium.

In reply, England finished at 104/8 in 19.1 overs. Minnu Mani's side fought back hard but could not stop Issy (28 not out) from hitting the winning runs, having returned 2.2-0-18-2 earlier.

Issy had won England the second game single-handedly when she struck a 15-ball unbeaten 35 to help the visitors level the series after India had won the first game.
