India face England in ICC Women's World Cup

A Tough task for Indian women’s cricket team on the opening day in Women’s Cricket World Cup. India needs to face the hosts team England in their first match in this Icc world cup. India Vs England Match is all set to happen on Saturday at 3 Pm IST.   But Captain Mithali is confident enough about it. Mithali said,“Our first target will be to reach the semi-finals, but for that you need to be able to play good cricket throughout the tournament and have good momentum” . The first stage of the tournament will have the eight teams  in a round-robin format where every team plays each other once. Mithali has an impressive record at the World Cup with an average of 60.83 and a highest score of 103 not out which she registered against Pakistan at the previous edition in 2013. The 34-year-old middle-order batter will aim to continue her fine record in the game’s showpiece tournament as seven-time semi-finalists India aim to reach the final for the first time. Appearing in her fifth World Cup, Mithali has a total of 22 outings so far and her experience will prove to be valuable for the Indians. Harmanpreet, playing her third World Cup, is a toast of world cricket with her swashbuckling style and part time off-spin. She has the distinction of notching up 107 runs against England in 2013 -- the highest score by an Indian in a World Cup. In the bowling department, India will depend mainly on veteran speedster Jhulan Goswami, who is playing her fourth World Cup. Jhulan, the highest wicket-taker in the world in limited overs formats, will be ably supported by left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht who is currently ranked at the sixth position in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings.  On other match Srilanka will face New Zealand team
