India Women vs England Women | ICC Women's World Cup Warm-up Matches, 2025 | Match 4

That is all from this game. Not the start India were looking for in the campaign but without Mandhana and Kaur it was always going to be hard. The warm-up matches keep on coming. Do check the tabs for the next game. From here, it's goodbye and cheers.

In the chase, Lauren Bell and Nat Sciver-Brunt set the tone by bowling tight lines and lengths. Bell, in particular, was really good with the new ball. Once England Women introduced the spinners, India found it hard to milk in some runs and the pressure just got big on India, who were bundled out with not much on the board.

England Women put on a solid performance with the bat and that kept them one step ahead of India Women right in the first innings. Nat Sciver-Brunt's wonderful century seal the deal while her partnership with Emma Lamb killed the momentum of the game.

For India, Richa Ghosh and Jemimah Rodrigues were batting brilliantly, with the latter crossing her fifty and Ghosh forming a fine partnership. Without Mandhana and Kaur, India needed someone else to step up however, Ghosh's run out changed the momentum and trajectory of the game. India fell like a pack of cards with no one apart from Deepti Sharma hanging in the middle.

No more participation from the injured player and there's absent hurt written against the name of Arundhati Reddy.

A fantastic performance from England Women and they have started the World Cup campaign on a high. A victory against the home team in the warm-ups will give them a huge boost. The match was well poised at one point but we feel the run out of Richa Ghosh changed the course of the game.

Since Arundhati Reddy picked up an injury early on while the home side was out in the field, she won't be coming out to bat and India Women have decided not to send any other pacer in place of her. This marks the end of the contest with England Women winning this by 153 runs.
