India Women vs England Women Team Preview & Squads
India Women
Harmanpreet Kaur leads the side with her characteristic calm and fierce intent. Her experience in handling high-pressure situations has been India’s backbone, especially in tight run-chases. Known for her explosive middle-order hitting, Kaur’s leadership will be vital against England’s disciplined attack.
IND batting unit is strong and adaptable, spearheaded by Mandhana and Jemimah at the top. Richa Ghosh’s finishing and Harmanpreet’s presence in the middle add crucial stability and firepower. Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur provide all-around depth, ensuring India can recover from early setbacks.
The spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, and Radha Yadav brings immense variety, especially on subcontinental surfaces. Renuka Singh’s swing with the new ball remains India’s best bet to dismantle the top orders.
In their previous outing against Australia at Visakhapatnam, IND posted an impressive 330 runs, with Mandhana and Jemimah leading the charge. Despite a strong total, the bowlers couldn’t contain the Australian chase as they reached 331/7, winning by 3 wickets with six balls remaining. Renuka’s early breakthroughs and Rana’s spin pressure weren’t enough to seal the game.

IND-W vs ENG-W Outfield Report
Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore
The Holkar Stadium surface in Indore traditionally favors batters, with a flat wicket and short boundaries encouraging stroke play. However, as the match progresses, spinners might come into play due to slight grip and turn. Expect a high-scoring encounter unless early wickets disrupt momentum.
The forecast for Indore on October 19 shows clear skies and temperatures around 31°C. Humidity levels are expected to hover near 55%, which could assist slower bowlers late in the day. Dew might play a role in the second innings, prompting captains to prefer chasing.
Historically, first-innings scores at Indore in white-ball cricket hover between 270–310 runs. Chasing teams have found success here, especially under lights. A competitive total if batting first would likely be around 300, while anything under 260 could be risky to defend.
