Smriti Mandhana's 91 and contrasting half-centuries from Yastika Bhatia (50) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (74 not out) put India 1-0 ahead in the three-match ODI series against hosts England in Hove. Having opted to field first, a disciplined bowling effort from India saw England being restricted to 227/7. Mandhana then put on two 90-plus partnerships to help India to a comfortable seven wicket victory, and thereby two ICC Women's ODI Championship points.
