India W vs England W, Women's World Cup 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

India Women are taking on England Women in match number 20 of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The Women in Blue are currently fourth in the points table, with four points from four matches. England are in third position, with seven points from four games.

India began their campaign with wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, albeit in unconvincing fashion. They subsequently suffered defeats against South Africa and Australia. The hosts are still in contention for a place in the semifinals, but cannot afford any slip-ups in their campaign.

India Women need to show significant improvement in all departments of their game. Their batting has just not come to the party. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal got some runs in the last game, but the trio of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Deol and Jemimah Rodrigues need to do a lot more. The Women in Blue also need to induce a lot more potency in their bowling.

Today's IND W vs ENG W pitch report

“It's a very hard surface and rolled very well. It’s a fresh wicket. The average score on this ground has been 275 and above. But, it can assist the seamers as well. There is some grass on the surface. Expect a high-scoring clash.” - Mithali Raj
