Lucknow: Anjum Chopra scored 71 as India won the second ODI women's cricket match against England by four wickets to level the five-match series 1-1 at the KD Singh Babu stadium on Thursday.
Electing to bat, the England team lost wickets at regular intervals and could make only 162 in their alotted quota of 50 overs.
Barring C Atkins, who made 34 off 61 balls, none of the other batsmen could offer any resistance to the disciplined bowling by the Indians on a wicket that offered some help to the bowlers in the morning but had a low bounce in the second half of the match.
Amita Sharma accounted for three wickets while Jhulan Goswami and Reema Malhotra took two wickets each.
In reply, India, aided by a classy 71 by Anjum Chopra and a well made 37 by Monica Sumra, romped home with 1.4 overs to spare.
Chopra was declared player-of-the-match for her match winning knock.
India started their reply on a flying note with the opening pair adding 95 runs before a sudden collapse threatened to derail their innings.
But the hosts kept their nerves to emerge as winners. For the England team Beth Moran took two wickets.
