|October 20, 2025
India squandered a position of control to make a mess of their chase as they suffered a four-run defeat against England, their third on the trot, in the Women’s World Cup hereon Sunday.
-
Chasing 289 to win, India were cruising to victory but lost crucial wickets despite fifties by senior players Smriti Mandhana (88), Harmanpreet Kaur (70) and Deepti Sharma (50).
From needing 55 runs from 53 balls, India found themselves needing 14 of the last over with England holding their nerves as Sneh Rana and Amanjot Kaur failed to take the hosts across the line.
This was after seasoned off-spinner Deepti (4/51) produced a standout spell, helping restrict England to 288 for 8 which was built on the back of Heather Knight's (109) splendid century.
India now need to win their remaining two games to seal the last semifinal spot as England became the third to team to move to the last four stage with the win here.
