England A Women 173 for 5 (Chathli 53, Heath 40*, Scrivens 39, Shakil 2-30) beat India A Women 172 for 4 (Vrinda 79, Anushka 37*, Verlekar 30, MacDonald-Gay 2-10) by five wickets
England A captain Kira Chathli struck 53 off 26 balls to help set up a five-wicket victory in the second T20 against India A at the County Ground in Northampton.
The result sees England A level the three-match series ahead of Thursday's decider at Chelmsford.
Chasing 173 to win, Surrey's Chathli shared a confident second-wicket partnership of 61 with Essex's Grace Scrivens (39) as the pair posted 68 for 1 in the powerplay.
Durham's Bess Heath then picked up the mantle, smashing 40 off just 23 balls to steer England A home.
Earlier Vrinda Dinesh hit an aggressive 79 as India A posted a challenging 172 for 4. Vrinda shared rapid half-century partnerships with Purvaja Verlekar and captain Anushka Sharma.
Surrey's Ryana MacDonald-Gay was the pick of England A's bowlers, taking 2 for just 10 runs with 19 dot balls, although England did not help their cause with five dropped catches.
India A got off to a flier, Deeya Yadav striking three boundaries off the first over, while Vrinda showed immediate intent, hitting over the covers for consecutive boundaries before flat-batting down the ground.
MacDonald-Gay though stemmed the tide with a wicket maiden, bowling Yadav with an inswinger.
India A concluded their powerplay on 43 for one, but some wayward bowling resulted in 20 runs from the next overs but just as England A started to drag it back, three further catches went down, albeit two of them extremely tough.
India A by now were motoring, but MacDonald-Gay once more broke through, bowling Verlekar with another inswinger.
Vrinda kept up her offence, pulling and sweeping over midwicket before hitting the next ball straight down the ground for six, while Anushka muscled over deep cover for six.
Vrinda finally chipped Sophia Smale straight to deep cover before Chathli effected a run out in the final over.
Scrivens and Ella McCaughan threaded the ball through the cover fielders to get England A running but McCaughan was bowled by Vaishnavi Sharma as she attempted to sweep.
England A continued to prosper by playing low-risk cricket, playing well-timed sweeps, cuts and drives with runs flowing freely, although Chathli did come down the wicket to hit Vaishnavi Sharma back over her head.
Boundaries were in plentiful supply, but India A finally broke the stand when Scrivens edged Simran Dil Bahadur to cover point off an attempted drive.
Chathli continued to sweep the spinners, including a six off Anushka to reach her 50.
Returning to seam paid dividends for India A, Shabnam Shakil bowling Chathli as she went to pull.
Heath though kept the run rate at 10 an over, driving the spinners through the covers and pulling the seamers through midwicket and swotting down the ground.
Minnu Mani trapped Jodi Grewcock lbw with England A needing 34 needed off 5.3 overs, but while Pavely skied a catch of Shakil, Heath reverse swept for consecutive fours and crunched through cover to see her team home.
