ICC Women’s T20I Team of 2021: Smriti Mandhana lone India player in the 11

England’s
Nat
Sciver
has
been
named
the
captain
of
the
side
while
Amy
Jones
will
be
donning
the
wicket-keeping
gloves.

The
team
just
has
one
Indian,
while
multiple
players
from
England
have
been
named
in
the
line-up.

With
255
runs
at
an
average
of
31.87,
Smriti
Mandhana
was
India’s
highest
scorer
in
the
format
in
2021.
She
scored
two
fifties
in
the
nine
matches
she
played
this
year,
and
got
her
team
off
to
rapid
starts
regularly,
as
evident
up
by
her
strike
rate
of
131.44.

Tammy
Beaumont’s
reliable
presence
at
the
top
of
the
order
helped
England
off
to
steady
starts
regularly.

She
played
nine
matches
and
amassed
303
runs
at
an
average
of
33.66,
including
three
fifties.

Danni
Wyatt,
Beaumont’s
partner
in
crime
at
the
top
of
the
order,
enjoyed
an
equally
good
time
in
2021.
Wyatt
amassed
252
runs
in
nine
matches,
at
an
average
of
31.50.

While
Beaumont
was
a
solid
presence
at
one
end,
Wyatt
took
the
attack
to
the
bowlers,
as
her
strike
rate
of
133.33
suggests.
