England defeated Australia by 8 wickets after the latter's win over India.

In fact, such was the coincidence that while Wyatt and England skipper Heather Knight were addressing the post-match press conference, one of Kohli's IPL knocks were being telecast on the large LED TV in the Cricket Club of India's Cooch Behar Room.

Chains down the target, Wyatt scored her second century in T20 as England chased down the total with 10 balls to spare. She smashed 15 fours and five sixes as the home bowlers had a tough time.

After Wyatt fell, Natalie Sciver (12 not out) and Heather Knight (8 not out) took England home easily.

Fellow opener Mithali Raj also pitched in with a handy 53 off 43. The two hammered the loose deliveries on a placid track.

Only the form of vice-captain Smriti Mandhana would have satisfied coach Tushar Arothe, but the left-handed batswoman too needs to learn from her past mistakes and stay till the end.

Wyatt - the hero on that occasion - and her young partner Bryony Smith knew they needed a fast start and they went hell for leather in the powerplay, finding it just as conducive for batting as the Indian side had. Wyatt reached her half-century off just 24 balls and century off just 52 balls. The two openers compiled their 100-run stand in 61 balls and this was the second century stand between Raj and Mandhana.

After getting thrashed by Australian women team in the opening match of the series by six wickets, Indian cricket team led by Harmanpreet Kaur is aiming to bounce back in the tournament.

All-rounder Netlie Sciver shone with both bat and ball and she would be eyeing another stellar performance, and so would Tamsin Beaumont. Harmanpreet added 30 to take India to 198/4.

India Women (198/4 Smriti Mandhana 76, Mithali Raj 53, Tash Farrant 2-32) in 20 overs lost to England Women (199/3 Danielle Wyatt 124, Tamsim Beaumont 35, Dipti Sharma 2-36 ) by seven wickets in 18.4 overs.
