Trusting skills worked in my favour, says Brunt

Fast bowler Katherine Brunt said trusting her skills reaped dividends as she returned with a five-wicket haul to help England register a two-wicket win over India in the third and final ODI here Thursday.

The 33-year-old produced exceptional figures of 5/28 to restrict the hosts to 205/8, which was later chased down by England with Danni Wyatt (56) hitting a fifty.

"In the first game, bowled one of my best 8-10 overs that I have bowled in my career, especially out here, so not getting a wicket was disheartening. In the second game, it did not go my way and probably, I tried a bit too hard," Brunt told reporters.

"So today was finding in-between and being more relaxed and trusting my skill. (And) It worked out."
"Not necessarily (she played) the way she loves to play, but she put in her performance for the team and I thought she did really well and we are proud of her."
