England Clinch Nail-Biting Win Over India in Women’s World Cup Thriller

Women's world cup india vs England

Under festive Diwali lights, India fell heartbreakingly short by four runs against England at Holkar Stadium, despite a record chase in sight.

Smriti Mandhana (88) and Harmanpreet Kaur (70) powered India’s pursuit of England’s 288/8, adding a century stand. But after both fell, India’s familiar late-innings collapse returned. Deepti Sharma’s 50 offered hope, yet the hosts ended on 284/6 as England sealed a tense win and a semifinal berth.

Earlier, Heather Knight marked her 300th international with a superb 109, while Deepti (4-51) shone for India. The defeat was India’s third straight loss, leaving their World Cup hopes hanging.
