India Women vs England Women pitch & weather report: Can India script a comeback after consecutive defeats?

The Indian women's team will be eager to get back to winning way after losing two close matches when they face England in their fifth match of the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday.

The hosts, who had won the first two matches against Sri Lanka and arch-rival Pakistan, have been tested against strong teams under pressure. Their middle order batting and death bowling has been a concern. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team will want to get back on track by finding form and reaffirm their title contention in the match against England.

Meanwhile, a win for England means a qualification into the semi final, following Australia. Nat-Scivr Brunt's team has shown a blend of firepower and composure throughout the tournament.

Their tournament began with a sensational 10-wicket win against South Africa, before completing a challenging chase against Bangladesh. The team then produced another clinical performance to outclass Sri Lanka by 89 runs. However, against Pakistan, rain forced a no result, which was a fortunate outcome that prevented a likely upset.
