The 2nd Women’s Twenty20 International (T20I) between England and India is set for July 1, 2025, at County Ground, Bristol, at 11:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
The blockbuster series came alive from the word go, with Smriti Mandhana’s explosive century in the opening T20I. While India looks to build on the momentum, England, reeling from a 97-run defeat, are set to regroup and respond.
In a commanding performance on June 28 at Trent Bridge, India Women secured a 97-run victory, taking an early 1-0 series lead. Stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana smashed a blazing 112 off 62 balls, guiding the side to a massive 210/5, alongside Harleen Deol’s quickfire 43. On debut, left-arm spinner N Shree Charani bagged 4/12 in her 3.5 overs, making an instant impact.
While England were bundled out for just 113, their only bright spot in an otherwise one-sided affair was captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who continued her fine form by top-scoring with a 66. India’s 97-run win stands as their biggest victory margin over England in women’s T20Is and marks England’s heaviest defeat in the format.
Head-to-Head:
Total Matches Played – 31
England Wins – 22
India Wins – 9
Despite England holding a dominant edge in the T20I head-to-head record, India have flipped the script on the ongoing 2025 tour, leading the five-match series 1-0 after a stunning 97-run win in the opener.
England entered the series on a high, having swept the West Indies Women 3-0 earlier this summer. However, India seized the early lead and built crucial momentum. While India’s last T20I series was in December 2024, where they defeated the West Indies 2-1 at home, their confidence has been bolstered by consecutive ODI successes in 2025.
With India showcasing renewed intent and fresh talent making an immediate impact, the historic numbers may favor England, but the momentum is firmly with India.
