India`s Abhishek Sharma led a dominant T20I victory over England, while the Women`s Ashes saw England`s series loss to Australia.

India showcased their dominance in the first T20I against England at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, winning by seven wickets with over seven overs to spare. England struggled to set a competitive total, finishing their innings at 132 runs in 20 overs. Jos Buttler emerged as the standout performer for England, scoring 68 runs, but the team’s overall performance was deemed "rusty" by former captain Alastair Cook.

In response, India’s Abhishek Sharma stole the spotlight with a sensational 79 runs off just 34 balls, including an impressive eight sixes. His explosive batting helped India chase down the target with ease, highlighting the team`s strong start in the series. The next match is set to take place in Chennai on Saturday, where England will look to bounce back.

Meanwhile, in the Women’s Ashes, England faced disappointment as they lost the series to Australia. The second T20 match was rain-affected, resulting in a narrow six-run defeat for England via the DLS method, giving Australia an unassailable lead in the series.
