England’s previous match against Pakistan ended in disappointment after rain washed away what could have been a well-fought contest. Before the interruption, England’s batting had collapsed to 78 for 7, with Fatima Sana and Sadia Iqbal troubling them with pace and spin. Despite Charlie Dean’s fighting knock, England managed only 133 for 9 in a shortened 31-over game before rain forced a no-result. The English camp will now aim for a comeback against India, with Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight expected to steady their middle order.
India, on the other hand, suffered a heartbreaking loss to Australia in their last match despite putting up a strong total of 330. Smriti Mandhana top-scored with 80, while young opener Pratika Rawal impressed with a classy 72. However, India’s innings lost momentum in the death overs, with Annabel Sutherland’s slower balls earning her a five-wicket haul. The Indian bowlers, led by Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma, fought hard but couldn’t stop Alyssa Healy’s masterful 142 that guided Australia home. India will now aim to fix their death-over woes and return to the winning track in Indore.
Holkar Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Holkar Cricket Stadium generally offers a true surface that favors batters, especially in day-night matches. The shorter boundaries at both ends make it a high-scoring venue, though spinners tend to get some grip as the match progresses. Teams batting first have often posted big totals here, but chasing is equally manageable with proper shot selection and wickets in hand. A score above 280 can be considered competitive, and the captain winning the toss might prefer to bat first to take advantage of the fresh surface.
Head-to-Head Record in Women’s World Cup
India Women and England Women have faced each other nine times in the history of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. Both teams have an equal record, winning four matches each, with one game ending without a result. This makes the upcoming clash a potential decider in tilting the historical balance between these two strong cricketing nations.
