Both teams are still undefeated in the tournament.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s team will face England at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on February 18 after winning their first two games of the tournament. Notably, like India, the Heather Knight-led side is unbeaten in the tournament, having defeated the West Indies and Ireland in their first two games. As a result, when these two teams finally meet on the big stage, it will be a nail-biter, to say the least.
When it comes to India, Stumper-batter Richa Ghosh is on fire right now. Following her match-winning knock against Pakistan, the 19-year-old batted brilliantly against the West Indies to help India win by six wickets.
Harmanpreet Singh provided solid support in the middle, scoring 33 runs off 42 deliveries. Deepti Sharma was outstanding when it came to bowling. The all-rounder took three wickets while allowing only 15 runs in four overs. Thus, India has had a lot of positives in the first two matches, but there are also some major concerns. One example is openers who are out of form.
Despite their victory, England struggled in their previous match against Ireland. Alice Capsey was the lone warrior with the bat, as the other batters were all dismissed cheaply. The Three Lions, on the other hand, bowled brilliantly. Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn each had three, while Charlie Dean had two. Given their recent form, they can pose a significant challenge to the Indian batters.
