Sneh Rana delivered the knockout blow. Four wickets on the final day handed India a crushing 270-run victory over England in the women's Test at Lord's — a historic result that will be remembered as one of the landmark moments in women's Test cricket.
Rana's incisive bowling on day five dismantled England's resistance and wrapped up a win that was comprehensive from start to finish. A 270-run margin tells its own story — England were never truly in contention once India seized control of the match.
The victory at the Home of Cricket carries enormous weight. Women's Tests remain rare occasions, and winning at Lord's adds a layer of prestige that goes beyond a simple series result. India seized that moment emphatically.
