England’s Freya Kemp makes mark with bat and ball to level series against India

India’s decision to retire out Bhatia in run chase backfires
Freya Kemp smashed an unbeaten 39 from 13 balls as England finally unleashed some batting firepower to post 168 for five and beat India by 26 runs in the second T20 international. Kemp found able support from Dani Gibson as England’s two finishers added 39 from the final two overs to level the series.
The pressure told on India’s fielders, who – after offering Sophia Dunkley a life on nought – twice let the ball slip through their fingers, as Kemp and Gibson showed off their athleticism between the wickets. But mostly the runs came courtesy of good placement and huge power hitting, as Kemp in particular let loose her arms, smashing two sixes and four fours down the ground. “As a team we’ve spoken a lot about finishing off well at the death and trying to put pressure on the opposition, so it’s nice to do that,” she said.
