Sunday brings us a crucial matchup in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup, as India and England prepare to lock horns at the Holkar Stadium. The Women in Blue are fourth in the standings, while the Lionesses are in second place after four games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a blistering start to the competition, India’s knockout round qualification hopes now hang in the balance following back-to-back defeats against South Africa and Australia, respectively.
Against the Southern Stars, the Women in Blue set a massive target of 330, but the defending champions pulled off a record-breaking chase to win the match with an over to spare.
India have three games to play in the competition and need to win at least two to progress. Matches between these sides have been closely contested in recent times, with the last four encounters being split, two wins apiece.
Meanwhile, England are widely expected to be the team to pose the biggest threat to Australia for the title, and so far, they have lived up to expectations, still unbeaten after four matches.
The Lionesses’ only dropped point in this competition came as a result of their fixture against Pakistan ending in a no result. They currently have the best net run rate in the competition (1.864).
Sophie Ecclestone has been the standout performer for England in this year’s World Cup, having already bagged nine wickets, including a best of 4/17 against Sri Lanka.

Our India Women vs England Women Prediction
It’s crunch time for India, as a defeat here will likely see them slip out of the top four, and with New Zealand to come after this fixture, things are not going to get much easier for the Women in Blue.
England have been excellent in this competition, and it is a little surprising to see them installed as such big outsiders in this contest. If the Lionesses are to upset the odds, we fancy the world’s best ODI bowler, Sophie Ecclestone, to lead the charge. Our India Women vs England Women prediction is Sophie Ecclestone over 1.5 wickets.
