India Women vs England Women – Head-to-Head Records
The rivalry between India Women and England Women is one of the oldest and most competitive encounters in women’s cricket. The two teams have been playing against each other since the 1970s, and over time, their encounters have produced some of the most memorable performances in women’s cricket. Be it Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs), or Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), the contests between these two teams have always been fierce, often setting the tone of major tournaments.
Test Matches
India and England first faced off in a women’s Test match in 1986. Test cricket is rare in the women’s game, but whenever these two teams have faced off, the contest has been tight. England have had the upper hand in terms of wins, but India have made their mark with consistent draws and occasional wins. In recent years, the Indian women’s cricket team has exuded fearlessness in Test matches, evidenced by their strong performance in the 2021 Bristol Test, which ended in a memorable draw. Although there have been limited encounters in this format, England’s depth and India’s growing confidence have ensured an attractive balance.
One-Day Internationals (ODIs)
ODIs are the backbone of this rivalry, with over 70 matches played between the two countries. England have traditionally dominated and won slightly more matches than India. However, the Indian women’s cricket team often saves their best performances for the big occasions. The most memorable encounter took place in the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup final at Lord’s, where India just missed out on their first title, losing by nine runs in front of a packed stadium. That match not only strengthened this rivalry but also brought unprecedented attention to women’s cricket in India.
As per the statistics, England Women’s team has won nearly 40 ODIs, while India Women’s team has won nearly 35. The contests are rarely one-sided: India’s batting, led by Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, has often challenged England’s world-class bowling attack. Notably, Harmanpreet’s unbeaten 143 at Canterbury in 2022 is one of the best knocks against England in recent years.
Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is)
In T20Is, England’s record has been more impressive. Of the 30-plus encounters, England have won the majority of the matches, with India winning nearly a third of them. The shorter format has often highlighted England’s superior depth, but India have also registered some morale-boosting victories, especially in global tournaments. For instance, India’s thrilling win in the group stage of the 2018 T20 World Cup showed their ability to rise on big occasions. Still, England’s consistency with both bat and ball has given them the edge overall.
Highlights
India’s highest ODI score against England is 333/5, with Harmanpreet Kaur playing a key role.
England’s lowest ODI score against India is being bowled out for just 50 runs in Silchar in 2005.
In T20 Internationals, India once scored 198/4, which was their best score against England, although they lost that match.
India’s Under-19 World Cup win and the emergence of young talent is expected to reduce this gap in the coming years.
Conclusion
Overall, England Women lead the head-to-head record across all formats, but India Women are steadily reducing the gap. Their encounters often feature individual brilliance, tactical clashes and drama. As women’s cricket grows globally, the India-England rivalry remains central to the game, combining history with the promise of exciting contests in the future.
