England vs. India
England Women’s Cricket team have held on to their position at number one since 2005. Since then they have won two ODI series and a Test, losing only two matches over this decade.
World Cup performances were strong as they never missed a semi-final; additionally five ICC Trophy titles and World Twenty20 triumphs have also been achieved under Charlotte Edwards’ direction.
England cricket team competes domestic red-ball cricket and represents their country at various international tournaments such as World Cup, ODI series and T20I series competitions of the ICC International Cricket Council (ICC), including World Cup, ODI series and T20I series competitions.
Australia is their main rival. England was established in 1864 with long history playing international cricket – their women’s team beating Australia two-Test and three-match ODI series win their inaugural Ashes series win and celebrating it with parade through central London before celebrations at Trafalgar Square together with men’s winning team celebrating.
In 2022, England women’s team won its inaugural One Day International series against India – also marking Alice Capsey and Freya Kemp’s ODI debuts – during this series in India.
Later that same year they would win two more ODI series against South Africa before going onto New Zealand, finishing second overall and earning second place ranking worldwide.
England won the toss and decided to bat in their opening ODI against India at Derby. Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones established an opening stand of 91 runs before being removed, and Heather Knight scored an unbeaten 113 off 85 balls that helped England reach 271-4.
Even after experiencing early nerves, England built their innings on firmer foundations as regular wickets were taken by Nat Sciver-Brunt (2/47) while Linsey Smith, Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone all took wickets individually.
England’s hopes of making an impressive comeback were dashed when Knight was run out backing up too far and this result was an enormous blow to India; they will look to rebound in their next match.
England vs. Sri Lanka
On 28 June at Lord’s, England host Bangladesh for their second Group Stage clash of ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Group 2. Bangladesh are coming into Lord’s fresh from an impressive qualifying campaign where they won all nine of their matches, leaving both teams level on points and hoping for top two status in their group.
Bangladesh will make their maiden women’s international appearance at Lord’s, and will hope to improve on their poor record against England, which currently stands at one win out of seven attempts.
England have had much greater success against Sri Lanka than their Asian rivals, winning five out of six previous meetings at Lord’s.
England will look to continue this success when facing off against them again on June 11 in front of a full house crowd at Lord’s.
Early on in the game, England were dominant both with bat and ball; however, they struggled to break loose from Sri Lanka’s bowlers who had established an even playing surface. Eventually, however, England were able to break free and go on to win their home fixture.
With just a few overs remaining, England were on the cusp of victory; however, Deepti Sharma sent back Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones in quick succession, leaving England needing six from the last over to achieve victory.
Amanjot Kaur then attempted to hit Linsey Smith’s last delivery into the covers but it was easily caught at point for an overall score of 288-8.
Nat Sciver-Brunt shone for England with her unbeaten 67, holding her nerve on a testing pitch to lead them to victory.
Her performance showed the type of player she is and why her presence in the squad is crucial – adapting her batting style according to conditions while showing real maturity in approach – all hallmarks of being a world-class cricketer.
England vs. Pakistan
England women’s cricket team will go for another World Cup victory when they host India in a two-Test and five-match ODI series this summer.
England will begin with an unbalanced 2-2 series against Sri Lanka, providing fringe and younger players international experience before welcoming Georgia Elwiss into their squad in preparation for India visit.
Lord’s is an important venue in cricketing history; as this will be its inaugural women’s Test match there. While white-ball internationals have previously taken place at Lord’s, never has there ever been a four-day Test played there in its storied history until this one.
Furthermore, India will visit Trent Bridge later that summer to play several T20 and ODI matches as part of their 2026 tour schedule.
After an inauspicious start to their tournament campaign, England successfully rebounded from an early loss against New Zealand to win all three remaining matches and secure first place in their group. Claire Taylor’s unbeaten 76 led their outstanding bowlers; Katherine Brunt even produced a fantastic 3-for-6 against New Zealanders at Lord’s!
Though England had lost two of their opening matches, England were still considered favourites to win when they faced India in the semi-final.
But Anushka Sharma took an early wicket which left England reeling at 62 for 3, and Anya Shrubsole and Emily Arlott tried rebuilding England’s innings – but soon thereafter both were dismissed by Sri Lankan captain Dilharee Sujatha and India captain Angelo Mathur.
England have an outside chance at qualifying for the semifinals of this tournament with victory against Pakistan at Lord’s. Pakistan have an insufficient net run-rate, meaning even victory at Lord’s might not guarantee them entry to the last four. Salman Agha’s men face tough opposition.
England have previously met in Women’s ODI cricket, with England winning all four encounters. Most recently they faced each other again at Bristol for an one-off match where England were dominant with an emphatic eight-wicket win due to Anya Shrubsole’s brilliant performance as well as Charlie Dean and Emily Arlott’s unbeaten stand of 77 which helped seal victory for them.
England vs. Australia
The England women’s national cricket team represents England and Wales internationally in women’s cricket – an arena in which England is widely recognised as being particularly strong. As Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), this team can play Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 Internationals.
England have won three women’s Test cricket tournaments throughout history, including an unprecedented record-setting victory against Australia in 2021. Mark Robinson currently coaches England women’s team, led by captain Heather Knight.
England women began the tournament with an emphatic nine-wicket victory against Pakistan despite mixed batting performances. Charlotte Edwards scored her seventh One Day International century, alongside Danielle Wyatt and Laura Marsh;
Holly Colvin took four wickets off nine balls while Katherine Brunt’s menacing bowling helped restrict Pakistan to just 125-6 runs in total.
After an inauspicious start to their tournament campaign, England made a solid rebound by producing some impressive displays in their next games.
At Lord’s they battled hard for victory against reigning champion Australia but were finally victorious thanks to an unbeaten performance from Claire Taylor that secured progression into the semi-finals.
England showed improvement following an underwhelming first match against India at Indore for their quarter-final quarter matchup.
Their bowlers excelled, with Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen and Danielle Hazell all picking up wickets; Australia struggled batting-wise, with only Annabel Sutherland and Ash Gardner making more than 30 runs each.
England secured their spot in the semi-finals and victory against Sri Lanka by winning their final group game. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, England struggled early as Jodie Fields and Meg Lanning were dismissed early; but an excellent 180-run partnership between Sutherland and Gardner saw England home with 10 overs left over for Brunt and Shrubsole both taking two wickets during this innings, plus Freya Kemp and Alice Capsey earning maiden England ODI call-ups for the first time ever!
