Although her strike rate remained on the lower side, Mithali's exceptional form continued as she finished the series with 206 runs in total averaging 103, with the highest in the last game. In 11 Test matches, 217 ODIs and 89 T20Is, Mithali has scored 669, 7304 and 2364 runs respectively. England women will now lock horns with the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team in the T20Is starting July 9 in Northampton.
