India Women (IND W) are set to face England Women (ENG W) in Match No. 20 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Sunday, October 19, 2025.

After suffering two consecutive defeats, India Women currently sit fourth on the points table. The hosts will be eager to bounce back with a win and add two crucial points to strengthen their standing in the tournament. Having enjoyed recent success against England in past encounters, India will look to replicate that form in this crucial fixture.

Meanwhile, England Women occupy the third spot on the table with three wins so far. Despite their recent struggles against India, Nat Sciver-Brunt and her team will aim to regroup and deliver a strong performance to solidify their position in the top three.

This will be the third fixture of the tournament at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The previous matches at this venue offered a fair balance between bat and ball, allowing both departments to find success. A similar contest is expected in this fixture as well. Batters will need to start cautiously, assess the conditions, and then look to accelerate once settled to post a competitive total. Meanwhile, bowlers must maintain disciplined lines and lengths to create pressure and capitalise on any mistakes from the batters.

Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani

Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones (wk), Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, Alice Capsey, Charlotte Dean, Sarah Glenn, Em Arlott, Linsey Smith

Indian opener Pratika Rawal could be the key batter in this clash. She has amassed 180 runs in four innings, consistently delivering in crucial moments for her team. Rawal’s ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when required makes her a potential match-winner who can steer India Women toward a much-needed victory.

England left-arm spinner Linsey Smith could be the key bowler in this clash. She has taken six wickets so far in the tournament, and the Indian pitches, which tend to assist spin, could play to her advantage. Her 10-over spells will be crucial in applying pressure and potentially turning the game in favour of England Women.
