Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss England's third T20I against India due to a left groin injury. The extent of the injury is still being evaluated, as she awaits the results of a scan. Tammy Beaumont, recently recalled to the team, is set to captain the side in Sciver-Brunt's absence.
The setback for Sciver-Brunt comes as England trails India 2-0 in the five-match series. The third T20I is scheduled to take place at the Kia Oval on Friday. England will be hoping that Sciver-Brunt's injury is not too serious, especially with Heather Knight, Sciver-Brunt's predecessor as England's captain, already sidelined for the summer due to a hamstring injury.
Sciver-Brunt's absence is a significant blow to England's chances of making a comeback in the series. She is a key player and the team's captain. Despite spending a significant portion of India's innings in Bristol on Tuesday off the field, Sciver-Brunt still batted.
