England beat Pakistan by 65 runs in Northampton to secure a comfortable series victory.
England won by 65 runs; lead series 2-0England sealed a series victory against Pakistan with a crushing 65-run victory in the second T20 in Northampton.Spinner Sophie Ecclestone finished with 3-11 in a complete bowling effort that saw England dominate throughout.They were in the game with England 127-5 at the start of the final over, but all-rounder Danielle Gibson provided a crucial 18 not out from nine balls to shift the momentum.
Capsey struggled for her usual destructive fluency but still managed to smash five fours in one over, while Sciver-Brunt looked like she had never been away. Gibson's finishing ability proved crucial again, however, smashing a six and a four from the final two balls to dent Pakistan's confidence after a much-improved performance in the field that was in vain after another woeful batting effort.With preparation for the autumn's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh dominating this series' narrative, England's spinners are consistently performing at a very convenient time.
Capsey also chipped in with one over and took two wickets in it, adding another valuable aspect to her game in what should be spin-friendly conditions in the subcontinent, while it was a rare wicketless day for off-spinner Charlie Dean.
