Match kicks off at 3:00 PM IST with toss at 2:30 PM IST.
Indore: The 20th Match of the ICC Women’s World Cup between India and England will be held on 19 October, 2025. The ICC Women’s World Cup match is scheduled for 3:00 PM IST at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. The coin‑toss is set for roughly 2:30 PM IST, around 30 minutes ahead of start. Fans can catch the match live on India’s Star Sports Network and stream via Jio Hotstar.
Indore’s red‑soil surface traditionally offers good bounce and carry for batters and bowlers alike. According to the match preview, the pitch was prepared after a 13‑day rest, and though it initially showed a greenish tinge, the grass was mostly removed before play – hinting at a batter‑friendly surface. Teams batting first have gotten favourable results here, so the toss could prove influential.
Indore is expected to experience warm and humid conditions on match‑day with minimal rain risk reported in forecasts, meaning a full 50‑over contest appears likely.
England arrive with strong credentials, while India keen to bounce back after recent setbacks. Historical head‑to‑head data shows parity, making this clash a potential turning point.
Given the surface and conditions, the team winning the toss may opt to bat first to post a challenging total. Prediction: India Women 178–210/8 batting first, or England Women chasing successfully 220–240 if conditions remain true. Expect key contributions from India’s power‑hitter Smriti Mandhana and all‑rounder Deepti Sharma, and from England’s Sophie Ecclestone (with the ball) and Tammy Beaumont (with the bat).
