IND-W vs ENG-W 1st T20I Live Streaming: The England Women vs India Women 1st T20I marks the start of a highly anticipated five-match T20I series, kicking off on June 28, 2025, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
This series is a crucial part of India’s preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be hosted in England. With India ranked third in the ICC Women’s T20I rankings, just behind England, this tour offers a chance to acclimatize to English conditions and fine-tune strategies.

Historically, England has dominated the rivalry, winning 22 of 30 T20Is against India, who have yet to secure a bilateral T20I series win on English soil. The series promises a thrilling contest between India’s dynamic batting lineup and England’s balanced squad.
The five-match T20I series schedule (all times in IST)
Led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain, India’s squad blends experience and youth. The return of Shafali Verma, who scored 304 runs at a strike rate of 152.76 in the 2025 Women’s Premier League, strengthens the opening partnership with Mandhana, which has amassed 2636 runs in T20Is. Key players like Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, and wicketkeepers Richa Ghosh and Yastika Bhatia add depth. However, injuries to pacers Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar put pressure on young bowlers like Kranti Gaud, Sree Charani, and Sayali Satghare. India’s recent 2-1 T20I series win over West Indies and a 3-0 ODI sweep against Ireland show promise, but losses in both warm-up matches against the ECB Development Squad highlight areas for improvement, particularly in fielding and bowling execution. India aims to end their poor T20I record in England and gain valuable insights into World Cup venues.
Under Nat Sciver-Brunt’s leadership, England enters with confidence after a 3-0 T20I sweep against West Indies. Their squad features experienced players like Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and star spinner Sophie Ecclestone, alongside young talents like Alice Capsey and Issy Wong. The Trent Bridge pitch, known for being batter-friendly with some early seam movement, suits England’s aggressive batting and versatile bowling attack. Their historical edge over India (22 wins in 30 T20Is) and home advantage make them favorites, but India’s explosive top order poses a challenge.
The 1st T20I between India and England women can be watched on the Sony Sports network from 7 pm IST on Saturday (June 28).
The match will be streamed live on the SonyLIV app, and FanCode in India from 7 pm IST.
