The upcoming 20th Match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 between India Women and England Women is one loaded with high stakes and competitive tension. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, faces a must-win situation to keep their hopes alive for the semifinals after suffering two consecutive losses. They bring Renuka Singh Thakur into the lineup for this match to bolster their bowling attack against England, a team that despite being unbeaten in the tournament, has shown some batting vulnerabilities.
The 20th Match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 between India Women and England Women took place on October 19, 2025, at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. This was a crucial encounter for India, who came into the match after two back-to-back losses and needed a win to keep their semifinals hopes alive.
India won the toss and chose to bowl first, bringing Renuka Singh Thakur in the side for her strong record against England. The pitch at Indore, following recent rain, was expected to offer some assistance initially but had traditionally been good for runs as seen in previous matches at the venue.
England, captained by Nat Sciver-Brunt, has a strong bowling unit, spearheaded by Sophie Ecclestone, but their batting has been inconsistent, especially against spin and under pressure. Their batting lineup relies heavily on experienced players like Heather Knight and Sciver-Brunt herself to anchor innings. England is currently positioned well in the points table but needs this win to confirm a semifinal berth.
India’s recent record against England is encouraging as they have won five of the last six ODIs since 2022. The pitch at Holkar Stadium, Indore, is expected to aid spinners, which could benefit India’s bowling lineup featuring Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh Thakur. India’s key to success will be using their aggressive batting against England’s spin attack and managing the pressure of a high-stakes encounter.
