On July 19, 2025, England Women used the DLS method to beat India Women by eight wickets at Lord’s after rain curtailed India's innings. India posted 143/8 in 29 overs, while England chased a revised target of 116 in 21 overs. The result leveled the three‑match series 1‑1 and set up a decisive third ODI. Live streams were available on Sony LIV and FanCode.
India Women Cricket – News, Stats, and How to Watch
Did you know the Indian women’s cricket team has lifted more than 20 international trophies in the past ten years? That streak shows how fast the squad is growing. If you’re curious about scores, player form, or where to catch the next match, you’re in the right spot.
Every series adds a new layer to the team’s story. In T20 tournaments, players like Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana often lead the charge with quick runs and aggressive shots. In ODI contests, the bowling unit—especially the swing of Rajeshwari Gayakwad—keeps opponents guessing. The mix of power hitting and disciplined bowling explains why India Women sit high in the ICC rankings for both formats.
Recent Performances and Rankings
Last month, India Women won a best‑of‑five T20 series against South Africa 3‑2. Harmanpreet’s 55 off 32 balls in the deciding game earned her the Player of the Match award. The win boosted the side to the second spot in the T20I ranking, just behind Australia.
In the ODI arena, the team faced England in a three‑match series and came out with a 2‑1 victory. Smriti’s 78 in the second match set a new personal best and helped the team chase down 215 runs with four wickets left. That series lifted India to third place in the ODI rankings, a historic high for the squad.
These results matter because they affect qualification for major events like the Women's World Cup and the T20 World Cup. A higher ranking means a better seed, which can lead to an easier group stage. Keeping an eye on the points table shows where the team stands and what they need to do to stay on top.
How to Catch Live Matches
If you want to watch games live, the easiest way is through official streaming platforms. In India, FanCode and Disney+ Hotstar carry most international fixtures. Both apps offer free trials, so you can test the service before committing.
For fans outside India, the ICC’s official website often lists broadcast partners by country. Many Caribbean and African nations use SuperSport, while the UK relies on the BBC. A quick Google search with the match date and “live stream” usually points you to the right channel.
Don’t forget the free options: many matches are streamed live on the official BCCI YouTube channel a few hours after the game ends. The highlights are uploaded within minutes, giving you a quick recap if you missed the live action.
Finally, follow the team on social media. The official @BCCIWomen handle posts scorecards, player interviews, and behind‑the‑scenes clips. Engaging with these posts can make the experience feel more personal and keep you updated on any last‑minute schedule changes.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just starting to follow India Women Cricket, staying informed is simple. Track rankings, watch live streams, and join the conversation on social media to get the full picture of a team that’s setting new records every season.
