India (w)England (w)After a mixed start to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 with wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, followed by narrow losses to South Africa and Australia, India faces a crucial stage in the tournament. The five-bowler strategy has come under fire, prompting coach Amol Muzumdar to consider tactical changes.
While Pratika Rawal has impressed alongside Smriti Mandhana, top-order inconsistency and sloppy fielding remain concerns. Injuries to Yastika Bhatia and Arundhati Reddy have added to the challenges, though the return of Renuka Singh Thakur boosts the pace attack. Upcoming clashes with England and New Zealand are must-win for Indiaβs semi-final hopes.
India will be going with the strongest playing XI in this encounter.
Predicted Lineup: Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Pooja Vastrakar, Shikha Pandey, Renuka Singh Thakur, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Saika Ishaque
