Buoyed by a landmark, the Indian women’s cricket team will look to sustain their momentum as they begin a three-match ODI series against England, starting Wednesday, July 16, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.
India created history by clinching their first-ever T20I series victory against England, emerging triumphant 3-2 in the five-match contest. With the ODI World Cup set to be held in India later this year, this series offers skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and her side a critical opportunity to sharpen their 50-over game ahead of the marquee tournament.
England, on the other hand, will receive a significant boost with the return of two star players: Nat Sciver-Brunt, the regular ODI captain, is back after missing the last three T20Is due to a groin strain. Her return not only adds stability but also strengthens England’s middle order and leadership group. Sophie Ecclestone, the world’s No. 1 ranked ODI bowler, is also set to make a comeback. She has recovered from a knee injury that kept her out of England’s tour of the West Indies in May. Ecclestone’s return will be vital for England’s bowling attack, particularly in home conditions.

The Rose Bowl Pitch Report
The Rose Bowl in Southampton is generally regarded as a batting-friendly venue, offering a solid track for stroke-makers to build big innings. The surface typically provides true bounce and good pace, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence. However, it’s not just a paradise for batters. Fast bowlers have also found success here, especially with the new ball under overcast English conditions. The pitch offers early seam movement, which can trouble top-order batters. As the match progresses, spinners also come into play, with the surface offering a bit of grip and turn—especially in the middle overs of an ODI. The outfield is quick, but the large boundaries demand smart shot selection and placement.
