Capsey, Knight power England past India in World Cup warm-up

On the eve of a World Cup, form and confidence are currencies more precious than any trophy, and at Taunton, England found both. Alice Capsey and Heather Knight, two batters carrying the quiet weight of recent struggles, combined for a partnership that transformed a faltering chase into a statement of intent. England's six-wicket victory over India — securing a 2-1 series win — arrived not merely as a result, but as a reminder that redemption and readiness can emerge in the same innings.
