EN-W vs IN-W: England Women will lock horns against India Women in the 1st Semi-Final of the Women’s T20 Commonwealth Games, 2022 on Saturday, August 6, 2022, at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
After a week of T20 action, the Women’s T20 competition in Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022 enters its semi-final stage which will see the top four teams – Australia, England, India and New Zealand fighting it out for the Gold Medal.
The host nation remained unbeaten throughout the league stage and finished the season at the top of the Group B points table. They recently outclassed the White Ferns in the final match of the league phase and would be coming into this contest as clear favourites.
Team India, on the other hand, started off their CWG 2022 campaign with a gut-wrenching loss at the hands of Australia. However, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side made a strong comeback and steamrolled the arch-rivals Pakistan Women and Barbados Women to finish second at the second spot in the Group A points table.
