IND-W vs ENG-W, Women's World Cup: England women's captain Nat Sciver-Brunt won the toss and opted to bat first against India in their ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Sunday.

India finalizes their six-bowler attack, with Renuka Singh replacing Jemimah Rodrigues. The right-hander's tournament has been underwhelming, amassing just 65 runs in four innings.

As far as the England team is concerned, Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Bell are back in the XI after recovering from illness.

Speaking at the time of toss, Nat Sciver-Brunt said, " We would like to have a bat. We would like to most of the fresh pitch. We have Ecclestone and Bell back in the side. They are ready to go. We will be looking for some big partnerships today. We have seen a lot of noise with the Indian fans and hope everyone is ready. We know we have three tough games left and hopefully we can get the win today."

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, "We were looking to bowl first and glad to get that. Jemi is not playing today and Renuka is playing. She has a great record against England and that was the biggest reason we wanted her back in the side. Even though we lost, we played really good cricket and that is something which will give us confidence."
