India Women vs England Women 2025 1st ODI match LIVE Streaming Details: Timings, Telecast Date, when and where to watch
Team India captain Harmanpreet Kaur at a training session at Southampton. (Source: X) Harmanpreet Kaur's Team are riding on a high after their first-ever T20I series win over England recently. The India women cricket team beat England 3-2 on their own turf. Now, the Indian side have set their sights on carrying their fine form into the ODI format as they build towards the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 later this year in India and Sri Lanka. India will take on England in a three-match ODI series beginning at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday. Team India had won their last ODI assignment – the Tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa – in May this year. Indians have tweaked their approach in recent years, placing greater emphasis on posting totals in excess of 300. 'In the ODI cricket we've been playing for the last couple of years, we've always focused on scoring more than 300 with the bat,' skipper Harmanpreet said. 'It gives the bowlers some cushioning. Earlier we had five bowling options, and it becomes slightly tough if we have only so many runs on the board. Recently, like in the T20Is, we went for four spin options. I think somewhere that has helped,' she added. Young opener Pratika Rawal has been preferred over Shafali Verma once again after scoring impressively in the tri-series tournament. Pratika etched her name in the record books by becoming the fastest batter to reach 500 runs in women's ODIs. England, on the other hand, will be bolstered by the return of two key players – skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt, who missed the last three T20Is due to a groin strain. She is back to lead the side for the ODI series. World No. 1 ODI bowler Sophie Ecclestone also returns after a lengthy layoff due to a knee injury which forced her out of the West Indies series in May.

Dates for Asia Cup 2025 revealed
The ACC Men's Asia Cup 2025 is tentatively scheduled to take place from September 12 to 28, with India, the designated host, likely to share hosting responsibilities with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to the media reports, the UAE and Sri Lanka emerged as front-runners to co-host the event. However, it now appears that the UAE has been finalised as the neutral venue, likely to accommodate any fixture involving Pakistan. This follows a precedent set during past events, such as the Champions Trophy 2025, where India's matches were played in Dubai when Pakistan was the host. Earlier in May, rumours surfaced that India might skip the Asia Cup 2025, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) swiftly denied such claims. More recently, a promotional poster for the tournament featuring only India and Sri Lanka began circulating on social media, raising eyebrows over the absence of Pakistan and fueling speculations about their participation, particularly due to the strained political ties between the two neighbouring nations. Given the agreement reached between the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) last year — which limits their bilateral encounters to only neutral ICC or ACC tournaments — it is clear that a potential India vs Pakistan clash will not be played on Indian soil. Despite the logistical clarity, the biggest question remains India's confirmed participation. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia recently dismissed reports of India boycotting the event, reaffirming that the board is awaiting a nod from the Indian government regarding their participation. "There is no discussion or even a remote thought about boycotting matches. We play Pakistan in the ICC events and it will go on if our government doesn't say otherwise. As for the Asia Cup, we will know in the coming days," a BCCI official said. Interestingly, neither the BCCI nor the PCB objected when the International Cricket Council (ICC) grouped India and Pakistan together for the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup 2025, signalling a possible thaw in cricketing relations. Both boards are believed to be cautious about the potential repercussions of a boycott, as it could affect their standing and participation in future ICC or Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events. Improved Nafay Pakistan's emerging wicketkeeper-batter, Khawaja Nafay, shared valuable insights shedding light on his evolving training regime, focus areas, and the inspirational advice he received from cricketing greats. During a media interaction at the ongoing Skills Development Camp, Nafay expressed his satisfaction with the camp's impact, noting significant improvement in both his skills and mindset. "The skills camp has brought significant improvement. I'm working on power-hitting with Abdul Razzaq and also practicing extensively against spinners. We face around 800 balls a day, playing them quickly; it also strengthens our muscles. This practice will benefit us in the future," Nafay said. He reflected on a valuable interaction during the skills development camp, highlighting the inspiring advice he received from a cricket legend. "I got the opportunity to learn from Vivian Richards; he told me that if I play with self-belief, nothing will ever be difficult. Vivian Richards shared that he also played the most challenging shots with confidence in himself," he stated. Looking ahead, the young cricketer is determined to continue the same level of dedication beyond the camp. "I will try to continue training according to this plan even after the camp. The coaches have told me to work on my wicketkeeping as well. I've been advised to stay ready as a wicketkeeper too. I'm preparing myself to play according to all formats," he said. The middle-order batter concluded by highlighting his commitment to becoming a multi-dimensional player. "I will try to continue training according to this plan even after the camp. The coaches have told me to work on my wicketkeeping as well. I've been advised to stay ready as a wicketkeeper too. I'm preparing myself to play according to all formats," he concluded. It is pertinent to mention that the 23-year-old has significant experience in domestic T20 cricket, particularly in major franchise leagues. The right-handed batter has represented Quetta Gladiators in two seasons of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), playing 12 matches and scoring 234 runs at a strike rate of 130.00, including two fifties.

As a result, the ICC men's Champions Trophy 2025 was held with a 'hybrid' model with all of India's matches taking place in Dubai. The ICC men's T20 World Cup 2026 scheduled for February-March next year is also expected to be held in a 'hybrid' model like the ICC women's ODI World Cup 2025. The Women T20 World 2026 will open with hosts England taking on Sri Lanka under lights at Edgbaston on Friday 12 June, kicking off a whirlwind month of world-class action that will see 12 teams battling it out for the prestigious trophy, currently held by New Zealand. Hundreds of thousands of cricket fans will have the opportunity to witness nail-biting showdowns between the likes of Australia and South Africa, India and Pakistan, and New Zealand and the West Indies, as the tournament travels the length of the country, firmly propelling women's cricket into the mainstream. After their opening clash against Pakistan, India will move to Headingley for their contest against a qualifying team on June 17, followed by contest against South Africa at the Old Trafford on June 21. While India will face the second qualifying team of Group 1 on June 25 at Old Trafford, their toughest game will be against Australia on June 28 at Lord's. 📍 England and Wales 🗓️ 2026 Here are #TeamIndia's fixtures for ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026! 🙌 — BCCI Women (@BCCIWomen) June 18, 2025 With the semi-finals and final already confirmed to take place in London, at The Oval and Lord's respectively; iconic venues such as Headingley, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Bristol County Ground and Hampshire Bowl will also play their part in showcasing world-class cricket throughout the earlier stages of the landmark tournament. England captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, said: 'World Cups are always special, but this one already feels different — it has the potential to be truly game-changing. It's going to be a huge moment for our sport and a brilliant opportunity to inspire young people and captivate fans across the country. Playing on home soil, for the biggest prize, against the best players in the world, it's going to be unmissable. I can't wait to be a part of it.' The newly expanded competition will see 12 teams descend on England and Wales in 2026. Eight countries are already sure of their place, with the final four participants to be decided through an ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier next year.

After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, This star player and captain announces retirement, marks ODI World Cup as last event, name is...
New Zealand women's cricketer Sophie Devine has announced her retirement from ODI cricket. She will bid adieu to this format after the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 to be played in India. But she has also made it clear that she will continue to play in T20Is. Devine retired from ODIs just before the New Zealand board was set to announce the women's team's central contract in a couple of days. In such a situation, one thing is clear that his name will no longer be in the central contract. He will now only have a T20 format contract. Sophie Devine is counted among the finest all-rounders in the world. He made his ODI debut in 2006 at the age of just 17. Devine (152 appearances) is second only to Suzie Bates on the list of players with the most ODI appearances for New Zealand. Talking about his stats, he is the fourth most run-scorer for his country in ODIs. Sophie Devine will have a chance to become the third highest run-scorer in the upcoming ODI World Cup. They need 54 runs to reach number three and overtake Debbie Hockley. He has scored 3990 runs so far in ODIs. Devine is the second-highest female batsman to score a century for New Zealand in ODIs. He has 8 centuries recorded to his name. Suzy Bates is first with 13 centuries. Talking about bowling, he has taken 107 wickets in 152 ODIs so far. He is second only to Lee Tahuhu in terms of taking the most wickets. Only two of these bowlers have taken 100 or more wickets in ODIs for New Zealand yet. This figure shows the consistency and utility of his bowling. It remains to be seen how Sophie Devine performs in this upcoming World Cup and how the team performs under her captaincy.

Not Virat Kohli, star India batter from RCB rises to number one position in ICC ODI rankings
Smriti Mandhana is captain of RCB women's team. (Photo: BCCI/WPL) June has been a month to remember for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team. RCB men's team finally ended a 18-year-long wait to win the IPL 2025 title earlier this month. On Tuesday (June 17), the RCB women's team captain – Smriti Mandhana – has become the world number one batter in ODI cricket again. The ICC announced Mandhana's return to the number one position on Tuesday. The 28-year-old India women cricket team vice-captain rose one slot, returning to the top for the first time since November 2019. South Africa's captain Laura Wolvaardt, slipped to joint-second place (shared with England's new captain Nat Siver-Brunt), following innings of 27 and 28 in the first two ODIs against the West Indies. This gave way to Mandhana, who now sits comfortably with 727 ratings points to the runners' ups' 719, ending Wolvaardt's more than six-month long perch at the top. The other Indian batters in the ODI batting list after Mandhana are Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who are placed 14th and 15th respectively. India and England are set to face off in five T20Is and three ODIs later this month. The ICC also announced the schedule for the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, which will begin on September 30, earlier this week. India are the hosts of the Women's ODI World Cup, which is being organized in a 'hybrid' model just like ICC men's Champions Trophy 2025 earlier this year with Colombo set to host all of Pakistan women cricket team's matches. Smriti Mandhana Becomes the No. 1 Ranked Batter in Women's ODI Rankings, Replacing Laura Wolvaardt Current No. 1 Batter in ODI Rankings • Men's : Shubman Gill. 🇮🇳 • Women's : Smriti Mandhana. 🇮🇳
