India Women vs England Women One-Off Test 2026, All You Need To Know: A historic occasion awaits at Lord’s as India Women and England Women prepare to script a new chapter in the history of the game. Fifty years after Lord’s hosted its first women’s international – an ODI between England and Australia in 1976 – the iconic venue will finally stage its maiden women’s Test match. With more than 30,000 tickets already sold across the four days, the landmark fixture represents another giant step forward for women’s cricket.
Both teams enter the red-ball contest eager to move on from disappointing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup campaigns. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side, however, will take confidence from their impressive performances in the longest format over the past few years. Since 2021, India have lost only one Test in the women’s format, and their 347-run demolition of England in Navi Mumbai in 2023 underlined the strength of their spin-heavy attack. The visitors also boast an unbeaten Test record on English soil, having won two and drawn seven of their nine previous matches in England.
England, meanwhile, will be determined to end a long wait for success in home Tests, with their last victory coming back in 2005. Nat Sciver-Brunt begins a new chapter as captain in the format and will hope to inspire England to their first Test win over India since 1995. The match also carries emotional significance as veteran opener Tammy Beaumont prepares for the final international appearance of her illustrious career, adding extra motivation for the hosts.
India will have to overcome an injury setback after opener Pratika Rawal was ruled out ahead of the Test, paving the way for Priya Punia to challenge for a debut. Much of India’s hopes will once again rest on the experienced trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Shree Charani, while Smriti Mandhana is set to celebrate a major personal milestone by playing her 300th international match for India.
