The first semi-final of the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 (CWG) will see India Women lock horns with England Women on Saturday (August 6) at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. The hosts have been ruthless in the group stages, winning all three matches. India, on the other hand, suffered a defeat in the first game against Australia, but bounced back in the remaining two games to reach the semi-finals.

Despite the absence of regular captain Heather Knight, England have performed excceedingly well. Their bowlers have been impressive under pressure, with Sophie Ecclestone and Katherine Brunt leading from the front. However, they face an upbeat Indian side that have been equally impressive in this tournament.

While Renuka Singh has stepped up with the ball, the duo of Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues have done well too with the bat. With a place in the final on offer, a cracking game beckons in Birmingham.
