ICC Women's World Cup: The Indian team looked ordinary in the first innings of the INDW vs ENGW match at the Women's Cricket WC. After winning two matches and entering the top 3 in the points table of the World Cup, India faces a setback. 

India women were all-out for 134 runs. Opening batter, Smriti Mandhana was the top scorer for India with 35 runs. Except for Mandhana, only Harmanpreet Kaur crossed the single-digit score among India's top 6. From scoring 317 against West Indies women in the previous match to this debacle in batting, team India is truly an unpredictable side.

Wicket-keeper Richa Ghosh is tried to give a fight in the middle-order but failed. She scored 33 runs in 56 balls. 

England women had lost three games in a row before coming into this match and are lagging behind at the seventh spot in the points table. England lost against Australia, South Africa, and West Indies women. A loss today against India would dent their hopes of retaining the ICC Women's World Cup.

Meanwhile, Jhulan Goswami and Richa Ghosh are trying to stitch a strong 8th-wicket partnership. Their goal would be to take India's score to a respectable total. India has a strong bowling unit that has it in them to defend smaller totals.
