India women clinched a massively thumping 95-run victory over the Netherlands women in their Women’s T20 World Cup clash at Headingley on Wednesday, with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma playing their incredible roles.

On the other hand, the Netherlands, in their chase, were bowled out for 114 in 17.3 overs. India's spin attack was quite instrumental in taking down the Netherlands' batting lineup. Young spinner Sree Charani claimed four wickets, and Shafali Verma also made a significant contribution with the ball, picking up three wickets.
