India Women’s team are up against England Women’s team in the first ODI of the three-match series today, 2025, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton. England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt won the toss and chose to bat first.
Buoyed by a historic 3-2 T20I series win, their first ever against England, the Women in Blue will now look to carry that momentum into the 50-over format as part of their preparation for the ODI World Cup later this year.
Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s focus has shifted in recent years toward consistently posting scores in excess of 300. With in-form opener Pratika Rawal — the fastest to 500 runs in women’s ODIs, along with seasoned batters Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Richa Ghosh, India’s top and middle order look powerful.
India’s bowling attack will miss key pacers Titas Sadhu, Renuka Singh, and Pooja Vastrakar, forcing more responsibility on Arundhati Reddy and a spin-heavy line-up led by Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana.
England, on the other hand, are bolstered by the return of captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and world No. 1 ODI bowler Sophie Ecclestone, both fit after recent injuries. They’ll aim to bounce back and assert dominance in the 50-over format.
