India Women vs England Women, 20th Match, ICC Womens World Cup 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, FOUR, the boundary is found too late and it's England who are jumping all over each other in delight. Crushing blow for hosts India who thought they were on the verge of history tonight. Linsey Smith is engulfed by her captain after doing a stellar job and you can hardly hear anything in Indore except the shrieks of delight from the England players. Fired in full, Amanjot tries to go big, slices it off the outside half over backward point and the ball trickles away into the boundary

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, 2 runs, the dream is shattering in front of their eyes. Skewed in the air, won't have the distance and falls well short of the midwicket boundary. Some Indian players can't watch

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, no run, doesn't find the gap through the off-side. Two sixes needed now. It's on a good length, Amanjot drives but it's straight to point and they don't run either

Smith to Sneh Rana, 1 run, getting more and more difficult. Flat on leg stump, Rana is down the pitch once more but there's no timing as she hacks it through square leg

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, 1 run, another low full toss on leg stump as Amanjot shimmies down. She can't get under it either. Driven down to long-on for another single

Smith to Sneh Rana, 1 run, dances down, takes it on the full but can't get under it. Swipes it out to deep midwicket

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, no run, fired in on a good length down leg, Amanjot looks to sweep but the ball goes nowhere. It trickles down in front of the keeper, probably off the glove

Smith to Sneh Rana, 1 run, down the track she comes, gets a fast full toss and can only get a single down to long-on. Struck it fiercely but couldn't find the gap

Smith to Sneh Rana, no run, now she goes on a good length and extracts big turn. Pitches outside leg, Rana looks to nudge it into the on-side but is opened up completely. Rips past the outside edge to hit the back leg

Smith to Sneh Rana, 1 run, fired in full on off, drilled to long-off, all along the ground

Smith to Amanjot Kaur, 1 run, very full at the stumps, almost in the blockhole, Amanjot squeezes it to long-on

Smith to Deepti Sharma, no run, again struck on the glove while looking to sweep

Smith to Deepti Sharma, no run, appeal for LBW as Deepti misses the sweep, but this is probably pitching outside leg from round the wicket. And it probably struck Deepti on the glove, so not much going for that appeal

Smith to Richa Ghosh, 1 run, knocks this one down to long-off

Smith to Richa Ghosh, no run, floated up down leg, Richa glances it to short fine

Smith to Mandhana, out Caught by Capsey!! Here's the chance for England and Capsey hangs on to it! Should she have left the big-hitting for Deepti while batting till the end? It's a question for later depending on how this game pans out but for now, England are still in it. Drifting away from off stump, round the wicket, Mandhana tries a lofted shot and she's probably eyeing the extra cover region. However, it comes off the inside half and she ends up miscuing it down to long-off. Was a faultless knock while it lasted and she's receiving a big ovation from her teammates.
