In the second match of the Women's T20I series, England secured a powerful finish thanks to Freya Kemp's explosive batting, pushing their score to 168/5. Despite India's bowler Shree Charani excelling early on with three key wickets, Kemp's aggressive 39 runs off 13 balls made a significant impact.

Charani's adept performance, garnering 3/25, initially kept England on the back foot as India maintained pressure throughout most of the innings. However, Kemp's dynamic late-game surge, which included a decisive 24-run final over, shifted momentum completely, giving England a competitive edge on a slow pitch.

India's series lead of 1-0 set the tone with their previous win at Chelmsford, but England's strategic play, driven by Kemp's impressive hitting, has set the stage for an exciting series finale.
