England Need A Bit Of Fight To Come Out In This Series Against India, Says Beaumont
Tammy Beaumont: Tammy Beaumont, England’s stand-in captain for the third T20I against India, said the side needs to bring out a bit of fight against India at The Oval on Thursday. England are 2-0 down in five-match series and another defeat, especially in absence of regular skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt, will mean they will suffer a series defeat after starting their rebuilding by outplaying the West Indies.
"It's real pride and honour to have the captain's armband tomorrow, albeit in difficult circumstances. Charlotte (Edwards, head coach) asked to meet me this morning, and straight away I said, 'Yep, thank you very much. I'll give it a good go'. I guess we need a bit of fight to come out in this series, and I'm probably someone who likes to get in a battle, so can understand why," said Tammy in the pre-match press conference.
England suffered a 97-run thrashing at the hands of India at Trent Bridge, before suffering a 24-run defeat in Bristol, where designated vice-captain Sophia Dunkley took charge. One of the standout factors in both defeats has been England unable to keep India’s batters in check on both occasions.
