The India Women's cricket team secured a historic 270-run victory over England in the one-off Rothesay Test at Lord's, marking a triumphant conclusion to their momentous first-ever appearance at the iconic venue. Spearheaded by a brilliant first-innings bowling performance from Kranti Gaud, who claimed 5/37 to restrict England to 170, India established a commanding lead. The visitors then piled on the runs in the second innings, courtesy of a historic maiden Test century from wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia (113)—the first woman to score a Test hundred at Lord's—and a quick-fire unbeaten 50 from Richa Ghosh, before declaring at 341/7. Chasing a monumental target of 457 runs, England's batting lineup crumbled for 186 against a relentless Indian bowling attack led by Sneh Rana's 4/42, sealing a comprehensive and historic win for Harmanpreet Kaur's side on Day 4.
