In a commanding display, England's women's cricket team trounced hosts India by 152 runs during the ICC Women's World Cup warm-up match in Bengaluru. The triumph was spearheaded by a stellar century from Nat Sciver-Brunt and competent bowling performances from Linsey Smith and Sophie Ecclestone.

Electing to bat first on Thursday, England showcased their batting prowess. Nat Sciver-Brunt captivated the audience with her 122-run innings off 105 balls, propelling England to a formidable score of 339/9. Contributions from Emma Lamb, Amy Jones, and Heather Knight ensured a strong foundation.
