India started their campaign on a losing note before notching up wins against Pakistan and Barbados to enter the last four. While Smriti Mandhana shined with a brilliant half century in their eight-wicket win over Pakistan, Renuka Singh’s fiery bowling set up India’s 100-run victory against Barbados.
Coming into the CWG 2022 with just a handful of T20 games as preparation, India ticked all the right boxes in batting, bowling and fielding. Besides Mandhana, the likes of Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues delivered with the bat while Renuka and Sneh Rana did the job in bowling.
On the other hand, England made their way into semifinals with wins over Sri Lanka, South Africa and New Zealand. The semifinal between India and England is going to be a nail-biting encounter as the winner takes a step closer to historic first-ever gold.
IND-W vs ENG-W Head-To-Head
India enjoy a poor head-to-head record against England winning just five times in 22 games both teams played against each other. England won 17 times.
