Women’s World Cup 2022 - England vs India Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

England and India face each other in the 15th match of the ongoing Women’s World Cup on March 16, 2022, at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. With two wins and one loss, India sits third on the points table with four points while the defending champions England have had a terrible start to the campaign. They occupy the penultimate position in the table with three losses in as many matches. The English side is yet to open its account in the marquee event after having lost to Australia, West Indies, and South Africa.

Mithali Raj and her side will enter the match on the back of a commanding win against the West Indies where they defeated them by a massive 155-run margin. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur both slammed centuries as India got to a huge total of 317/8 in 50 overs. With the bowling, Sneh Rana and Meghna Singh took three and two wickets respectively as West Indies were bundled out for just 162 runs in 40.3 overs.

Chasing their first World Cup title, India would like to put more misery on a struggling England team to make their case stronger for the semi-final spot. The winners of the previous 2017 edition, England, will hope to get off the mark by securing their first victory in the tournament. Both sides last met in a three-match bilateral series last year which England won by a margin of 2-1. Revenge will be on the cards for the Indian side who suffered a narrow nine-run loss in that famous 2017 final held at Lords.
