The upcoming three-match women's T20I series between India and England, commencing on December 6 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, holds significance for India as they aim to build on recent successes and address their historically underwhelming bilateral record against England.
Under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, India has enjoyed a fruitful year, clinching a gold medal in the Asian Games, winning an away series against Bangladesh (2-1), and reaching the final of the triangular series in South Africa alongside West Indies.

In contrast, England, currently ranked second in the world, is looking to bounce back from a 1-2 loss to Sri Lanka in their recent home series.
Despite India's overall success, their home encounters against England have been challenging, with only two victories in nine matches. The last win dates back to March 2018, when India secured an eight-wicket triumph at the Brabourne Stadium over five years ago.
All three T20I matches are scheduled to be held at the Wankhede Stadium, with the series followed by a one-off Test match at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. As India strives to improve their bilateral record against England, these matches offer a crucial opportunity to gain confidence and continue their positive momentum in women's cricket.
