India have two points from four games
England need just one win to secure their semi-final spot
No rain predicted for most of day
India Women face a pivotal challenge on Sunday, October 19, as they take on England Women in Match 20 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. With two consecutive defeats, India finds itself under pressure to secure a win to stay in contention for a semifinal spot.
England Women, currently unbeaten and sitting third in the points table, have had a mixed bag of performances. While they have secured victories, their batting lineup has been inconsistent, with only Nat Sciver-Brunt delivering consistent performances. The team has struggled in the death overs and against spin bowling, areas that India could exploit.
However, they are only one win away to book their spot in the semifinals. So ther pressure will be relatively lesser on them. However, as we mentioned earlier, India can't afford a loss from here. They have to win this matchup in order to stay alive in the contest and don't depend on other teams' results.
