Anya Shrubsole will use Joe Root and England’s spectacular comeback last week as inspiration during today’s match against India.

England face the hosts in their second ICC Women’s World Twenty20 match and expect a tougher test than the once they faced against Bangladesh.

Watching Root and Jason Roy chase down South Africa’s 230 on Friday, Shrubsole believes that that innings can spur England on to victory.

“That was an amazing game,” Shrubsole said.

“I’m pretty sure everyone was watching; our [text message] group was going crazy chatting about it.

“It was an unbelievable chase and we want to see England winning — whatever sport, whatever format — and to see the guys pull off a chase like that under a lot of pressure can spur us on as well.”

India lost their opening match to Pakistan and Shrubsole is aware that the hosts will want to get back to winning ways today.

And with table-topping West Indies still to come on Thursday, England must win if they hope to advance to the semi-finals.

“It’s a couple of huge games coming up,” she said.

“They’re going to need to bounce back massively having lost to Pakistan.

“We’ve played them plenty of times in the past. They’ve obviously got some dangerous batters, they’ve got Mithali Raj who’s a world-class player and then obviously Jhulan Goswami who’s a world-class bowler.

“We definitely won’t be underestimating them because we know they’re going to come out with a point to prove.”

However, she also acknowledges that a surface notorious for slow, low turn may be more conducive to slower bowlers.

“It will probably spin a little bit and for the seamers you’ll see lots of cutters and lots of slower balls,” she said.

“It’s the same for India as well they haven’t played up here, so whoever adapts to the conditions quickest will probably come out on top.”
