Cricket: India hammer England in Women's World Cup opener

LONDON, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Jun, 2017 ) - India beat hosts England by 35 runs on the opening day of the 2017 Women's World Cup at Derby on Saturday. India piled up an imposing 281 for three in their 50 overs thanks to fifties from Smriti Mandhana (90) and Punam Raut (86), who put on 144 for the first wicket, as well as 71 from skipper Mithali Raj.

Three-times champions England, who've won the previous two World Cups staged in their own country, rarely looked like chasing down the target before being bowled out for 246.
