India Women clash with England Women in Match 20 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Get details on IND-W vs ENG-W live streaming, match timing, probable XIs, and prediction.
IND-W vs ENG-W, Live Streaming: India Women are up against their biggest test as they play unbeaten England Women in Match 20 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 at Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium on Sunday, October 19. The match starts at 3:00 PM IST, with the toss at 2:30 PM IST.
Following back-to-back losses to Australia and South Africa, India are in dire need to rebound and revive their semifinal hopes, while England look to carry on with their unbeaten sequence and enhance their top-table status.
India's five-bowler line-up has been tested in their last visits, and hence captain Harmanpreet Kaur has had to re-think her balance. Renuka Singh Thakur's return might bring much-needed variety and pace to join hands with Kranti Gaud. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal have been in rhythm as openers but have been required to turn starts into scoring performances by the middle-order players like Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet.
England, on the other hand, have appeared strong with small setbacks against Pakistan and Bangladesh. Their top-order, headed by Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt, has remained consistent, while Sophie Ecclestone's bowling remains their strongest weapon. Given a flat Indore pitch, both teams are likely to prefer batting line-ups, pointing towards a run-fest.

India Women (Likely): Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani
England Women (Likely): 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
India's campaign is reaching a tipping point they need to get consistency with bat and ball if they have to remain in the game in the tournament. The Holkar surface might suit stroke-making, which suits India's top-order hands heavily, particularly Mandhana and Rawal. England's balance and form and the leadership of Sciver-Brunt are enough to make them a force to be reckoned with.
Prediction: England Women are still favorites, but India's home benefit and batting strength might turn this into a close-fought affair. Look for a high-scoring thriller in Indore.
