The 5th T20I clash between England Women and India Women is set for July 12, 2025, at Edgbaston Stadium. As the series stands delicately balanced, this encounter could be the decider in terms of momentum. Both teams have produced high-caliber cricket, with England struggling to stay in the running and India winning two of their previous three games. India's bowlers, especially spinners, have held things close, and their potent top order, which includes players like Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, has played reliably. England, on the other hand, is renowned for their tenacity and will try to overcome the most recent loss.
In the three most recent head-to-head matches, India Women have dominated with two wins. Their latest victory came on July 9, where they chased down England's 126/7 in just 17 overs with six wickets in hand. England's only recent win came on July 4, where they edged past India by 5 runs in a thrilling contest. Overall, India seems to have gained a psychological edge in the series.
Edgbaston's surface usually supports a good contest between bat and ball. The wicket offers early assistance for pacers, but as the game progresses, spinners become more effective. A total of 150+ is considered competitive here, especially if the bowling unit executes tight lines. Dew might play a part in the second innings, favoring the team batting second.
England Women (Probable): Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Tamsin Beaumont (c), Alice Capsey, Paige Scholfield, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer
India Women (Probable): Smriti Mandhana (vc), Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, N Sree Charani
India Women look in control with stronger recent form. Their top order is firing and their bowlers have restricted England effectively. England must step up in the middle overs and prevent India's batters from dictating the pace. Fielding could also play a decisive role.
Smriti Mandhana – With 3974 runs, she has the experience and power to shift the game, especially if she plays through the innings.
Sophie Ecclestone – A consistent wicket-taker with 140 wickets in 100 games, she's England's best chance of early breakthroughs.
India's all-round balance and sharper field execution give them a slight edge. England need to avoid mid-innings collapses.
Toss Prediction: Bat second preferred, with chasing sides having better success.
England Women: 140–150
India Women: 150–165
India Women to win by 5 wickets or 10–15 runs.
