Preview
England Women will face India Women in the opening T20I of the India Women tour of England 2026 at County Ground, Chelmsford. The New Zealand women's team has displayed excellent recent form; in their last series, they defeated New Zealand by a margin of 2-1. England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt remains unavailable for this series, having also missed the previous series against New Zealand; additionally, Danni Wyatt will not be available for the first T20I. Charlie Dean will once again lead the side and will be looking to start the series with a victory.
Meanwhile, after winning five consecutive T20 series, the Indian team suffered a 1-4 defeat against South Africa in their most recent series. They will aim to put that loss behind them and deliver a strong performance in the most recent series. The Indian team has historically performed well against England, having defeated them 3-2 in their previous series; in that series, India's star player, Smriti Mandhana, scored 221 runs
