India women vs England women, Ind vs Eng Cricket Score and Live Updates of Women’s Cricket World Cup match[/caption] This will be a rematch of the 2017 World Cup final, where India lost by nine runs at Lord’s. Heather Knight’s England have got off to a forgettable start, losing all of their first three matches (Against Australia, West Indies and South Africa) and will hope to open their World Cup account against India. England lie seventh, ahead of eighth-placed Pakistan (With four defeats in as many games). India, meanwhile, have played three matches, winning two of them (Against Pakistan and West Indies), while having lost only to hosts New Zealand. India lie third on the points table (4 points), behind South Africa (6) and Australia (8). In their match against West Indies, Smriti Mandhana (123) and Harmanpreet Kaur (109) scored centuries while Yastika Bhatia (31) too got among the runs as India posted 317/8 from 50 overs. Defending the total, it was an all-round bowling effort from the Indians that hindered the opposition’s chances of winning the game. Sneh Rana collected three wickets, finishing with figures of 3/22 while Meghna Singh enjoyed figures of 2/27 in six overs. West Indies’ batting card was a disappointing one, barring the performances of Deandra Dottin (62) and Hayley Matthews (43). England were made to sweat in their game against South Africa, eventually losing by three wickets. Having been put to bat, Tammy Beaumont (62) and Amy Jones (53) scored fifties to take the defending champions to 235/9 in 50 overs. The English bowlers then kept troubling the Proteas at regular intervals. South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt scored 77 and probably that was the difference in the game. South Africa lost Marizanne Kapp in the 49th over with their score reading 226/7, and needed 10 to win from as many balls. Trisha Chetty (11*) and Shabnim Ismail (5*) took the South Africans home in the end, with four balls to spare. A win against England would certainly boost India’s confidence, having surrendered to them five years ago when they eventually lost the final in Lord’s.

India vs England Highlights, Women's Cricket World Cup 2022, Full Cricket Score: England open account in tournament with four-wicket victory
India vs England, Women’s World Cup 2022 LIVE score and updates: Sophie Ecclestone hits the winning boundary as England win by four wickets with 112 balls to spare, collecting their first points of the 2022 World Cup in the process.
)
Done and dusted at Mount Maunganui. England finally get their World Cup campaign off the mark with a four-wicket win, giving their Net Run Rate a massive boost with a little under 19 overs to spare. India though, did well to snare six wickets, three of which went into Meghna Singh’s kitty, and certainly could’ve defended a total in excess of 200 if only the batters had shown a little more application.
India, meanwhile, face an even tougher test later in the weekend, as they take on six-time champions Australia — who are among the two sides yet to lose a game in the tournament. Mithali Raj and Co will have to quickly regroup and iron out their batting flaws as they plot what will considered an upset win by some later this week.
For now, this is Amit signing off wishing you all a good day ahead.
Charlotte Dean is the Player of the Match!
Dean: Really happy. We’ve played really well to come back from a few bad games. I was trying to keep it simple, keep it tight along the stumps. When you’re bowling at the other end of Soph, you’re in good hands. She always has some words of wisdom. This is for you (to family).
After 31.2 overs,England Women 136/6 ( Heather Knight (C) 53 , Sophie Ecclestone 5)
FOUR! Sophie Ecclestone hooks a short ball from Meghna Singh to collect the winning boundary, as England open their account in the 2022 ICC Women’s World Cup with a four-wicket win over India with a little under 19 overs to spare! Skipper Heather Knight remains unbeaten on 53, regaining her form with a match-winning knock.
After 31 overs,England Women 131/6 ( Heather Knight (C) 53 , Sophie Ecclestone 1)
Mithali brings Goswami back, hoping to snare another wicket or two. Just two from the over. Meanwhile Harmanpreet appears to have hurt her knee badly while putting in a slide near mid on in the fifth delivery. The physio runs to the ground to assess her knee, and she’s seen hobbling off the pitch thereafter. Two from the over. England need four to win.
After 30 overs,England Women 129/6 ( Heather Knight (C) 52 , Sophie Ecclestone 0)
Outstanding over from Meghna Singh — too bad it didn’t come earlier when India still were in the game. Dunkley and Brunt depart in a space of three balls as Meghna takes her match tally to three. India will want to make England fight hard for the remaining runs.
OUT! Two wickets in three balls for Meghna Singh! Brunt was perhaps looking to level the scores, but got a thick top-edge instead. Easy catch for Richa Ghosh. ENG 128/6
Brunt c Ghosh b Singh 0(2)
OUT! Dunkley attempts to dab the ball towards third man off Meghna, but ends up serving a low catch for keeper Richa Ghosh. England lose their fifth wicket with just seven more needed to win. ENG 128/5
Dunkley c Ghosh b Singh 17(21)
After 29 overs,England Women 128/4 ( Heather Knight (C) 51 , Sophia Dunkley 17)
Dunkley brings the equation down to single figures by charging down the track and lofting the ball over mid off for a boundary in the third delivery. Couple of singles collected in addition to the boundary. Six from the over.
After 28 overs,England Women 122/4 ( Heather Knight (C) 50 , Sophia Dunkley 12)
Knight collects a boundary first ball with a cover drive, and follows it up with a single to complete her 23rd ODI half-century. Dunkley then moves to double figures with back-to-back boundaries to bring the equation down to 13 from 22 overs.
After 27 overs,England Women 109/4 ( Heather Knight (C) 45 , Sophia Dunkley 4)
Gayakwad continues. Dunkley gets off the mark in style in this over, getting down on one knee and clobbering the ball over a leaping Harmanpreet at mid on for a boundary. England’s equation comes down to just 26 off 23 overs.
After 26 overs,England Women 104/4 ( Heather Knight (C) 44 , Sophia Dunkley 0)
Meghna Singh replaces Deepti Sharma, and starts off her new spell with a maiden. Sophia Dunkley, meanwhile has joined Knight at the centre, the latter on 44 at the moment.
After 25 overs,England Women 104/4 ( Heather Knight (C) 44 , Sophia Dunkley 0)
Knight collects a single off the first ball. Jones then dances down the track and smashes the ball over the logoff fence to collect the first six of the innings. Tries to replicate the shot next ball, but doesn’t quite time it and Harmanpreet Kaur pulls off a stunner at mid on to result in England losing their fourth wicket. Nine runs and a wicket from the over. England need 31 more to win.
OUT! Harmanpreet Kaur pulls off a blinder at mid on to dismiss Amy Jones, who was looking for a second consecutive maximum. Jones didn’t quite time this one, but even then it required Kaur to time her jump precisely to be able to hold on to this one. ENG 102/4
Jones c Kaur b Gayakwad 10(28)
After 24 overs,England Women 95/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 41 , Amy Jones (W) 4)
Knight moves to 40 with a firm sweep off Deepti in the penultimate ball. Three singles collected in addition to the boundary. Seven from the over, with England needing just 40 more to win.
After 23 overs,England Women 88/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 35 , Amy Jones (W) 3)
Last throw of the dice from Mithali as Jhulan returns to the attack in the 23rd over. The senior pacer collects her first maiden of the day. Excellent stop by Sneh Rana at cover after a solid punch by Jones.
After 22 overs,England Women 88/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 35 , Amy Jones (W) 3)
FOUR! Knight brings out the reverse sweep in the second delivery, beating the fielder at point to collect her sixth boundary. Two singles collected off the remaining balls, with Amy Jones keeping the strike. Six from the over. Just 47 more needed for England to wrap this up with 28 overs and seven wickets left.
After 21 overs,England Women 82/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 30 , Amy Jones (W) 2)
Jhulan Goswami is back into the attack as India search for quick wickets. She earlier took the wicket of Tammy Beaumont and India are in desperate need of more of her expertise. No wickets in this over but just two singles off it.
After 20 overs,England Women 80/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 29 , Amy Jones (W) 1)
Rajeshwari Gayakwad into the attack. In the fifth ball, Knight collects three runs with Deepti Sharma rushing to save the boundary, Deepti chased from backward point but she was in contact with the boundary rope and the ball as she attempted to stop it. Six off the over.
After 19 overs,England Women 74/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 24 , Amy Jones (W) 0)
FOUR! Knight moves into the 20s with a lovely shot through point. Keeps the scoreboard ticking with a single off a dab towards third man three balls later. Dot to end the over, with five coming from it.
After 18 overs,England Women 69/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 19 , Amy Jones (W) 0)
Excellent over from Rajeshwari, as she collects her first maiden in her fourth over. Keeper-batter Amy Jones joins Knight at the middle after Sciver’s wicket.
After 17 overs,England Women 69/3 ( Heather Knight (C) 19 , Amy Jones (W) 0)
Pooja Vastrakar returns. Both Knight and Sciver collect a boundary each, the latter moving to 45 with a flick over midwicket in the penultimate ball. She departs just five short of her half-century though, getting a top-edge that results in an easy catch for mid on. Nine from the over along with a wicket. Sciver’s wicket comes as a sliver of hope for the Women in Blue. But they need a burst of two-three wickets to stay in the game.
OUT! Just when Sciver was starting to charge towards her half-century, she’s undone by the variable bounce as she tamely chips the ball towards mid on. Goswami settles under the ball and grabs the sitter. ENG 69/3
Sciver c Goswami b Vastrakar 45(46)
After 16 overs,England Women 60/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 14 , Natalie Sciver 41)
Gayakwad returns on the other side of the drinks break. Just one from the over, with Knight collecting a single off the penultimate delivery, the skipper moving to 14. Sciver, meanwhile, is just nine short of her fifty at the moment.
After 15 overs,England Women 59/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 13 , Natalie Sciver 41)
Three singles collected in the first four balls before Sciver brings up the fifty stand for the third wicket with back-to-back hits to the fence off Sneh Rana, guiding the ball towards either side of the wicket. Time for the players to have a drink at the end of this over.
After 14 overs,England Women 48/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 11 , Natalie Sciver 32)
FOUR! Muscled through the midwicket region by Sciver off a short of length ball from Vastrakar. Five from the over, with Knight having collected a single in the third delivery.
After 13 overs,England Women 43/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 10 , Natalie Sciver 28)
Sneh Rana, quite the useful option for the Indians when it comes to getting breakthroughs in middle overs, is introduced in the 13th over. Sciver and Knight collect a single each as the offie concedes two in her first over.
After 12 overs,England Women 41/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 9 , Natalie Sciver 27)
Vastrakar bowls a wide far down off in the second delivery. Sciver then works the ball through point for a single two balls later. Two from the over. The game has been slipping away from India’s grasp for a while now and they desperately need a couple of wickets if they are to defend such a modest target.
After 11 overs,England Women 39/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 9 , Natalie Sciver 26)
Sciver collects a couple of doubles — a sweep towards fine leg in the first delivery followed by a late dab towards third man two balls later. She keeps the strike with a single off the last ball, sweeping towards deep square leg. Five from the over.
After 10 overs,England Women 34/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 9 , Natalie Sciver 21)
Change from both ends with Pooja Vastrakar replacing Meghna Singh. She off to a tidy start, conceding just one off her first over. England end the powerplay on 34/2, with Sciver and Knight having build a healthy third-wicket stand so far. Unless India are able to break this stand, England could finish this in a canter thanks to these two.
After 9 overs,England Women 33/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 9 , Natalie Sciver 20)
FOUR! Rajeshwari Gayakwad’s off to a shaky start as Sciver sweeps a full delivery behind square for a boundary in the second ball. The left-arm spinner’s guilty of committing the same mistake three balls later, and is met with another sweep, this time over square leg. Sciver keeps the strike with a single off the last ball. Nine from the over.
After 8 overs,England Women 24/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 9 , Natalie Sciver 11)
Three singles from the over as Knight and Sciver slowly rebuild after the early exits for the openers. Fine stop by Harmanpreet at mid on in the fifth ball to restrict Sciver to just a single. India have matched England in terms of fielding so far today.
After 7 overs,England Women 21/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 8 , Natalie Sciver 9)
Sciver collects a single off the second delivery. Three balls later, Knight decides to punish Goswami for bowling another short-of-length ball, pulling authoritatively towards deep square leg to collect her second boundary.
After 6 overs,England Women 16/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 4 , Natalie Sciver 8)
Meghna continues to build pressure from her end, collecting her second maiden in three overs as Knight opts to remain on the defensive side.
Just keeps elevating her standards
After 5 overs,England Women 16/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 4 , Natalie Sciver 8)
Now new batter Nat Sciver gets into the boundary-scoring act, collecting a couple of them in this over. She’s also lucky to escape getting bowled in the fourth ball after a bat-shoe deflection towards the stumps, the bails refusing to dislodge in the end. Eight from Goswami’s third over.
After 4 overs,England Women 8/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 4 , Natalie Sciver 0)
FOUR! Heather Knight collects the first boundary of the innings with a crisp cover drive off the penultimate ball of the over. That should release some of the pressure.
After 3 overs,England Women 4/2 ( Heather Knight (C) 0 , Natalie Sciver 0)
Goswami starts off with a wide down the leg side first ball, but keeps things tight for the next four balls. Appeal for LBW is turned down in the final ball but Mithali pushes for the review — and is rewarded in the form of Beaumont’s wicket as England find themselves two down for just four runs. This could turn out to be a low-scoring thriller after all!
