If you follow cricket, you know the England women's side has been busy this season. From high‑stakes ODI series to thrilling T20 clashes, there’s a lot to keep track of. This page pulls together the biggest headlines, upcoming matches, and the players you should watch.
In the latest series against New Zealand, England clinched the ODI trophy with a 2‑1 win. The win was built on solid opening stands from openers Alice Capsey and Nat Sciver‑Brunt, who together put on more than 150 runs in the first two games. The middle order, led by Lauren Winfield‑Harries, added depth and helped chase down tricky totals.
On the T20 front, England faced a tough challenge from Australia in a three‑match tie‑breaker. The visitors fell short in the final game, but the match highlighted the rise of young spinner Bryony Smith, who claimed three wickets at a low economy. Her variations are already being compared to veteran pacer Katherine Brunt’s swing in limited‑overs cricket.
Looking ahead, the England women's team heads to South Africa for a dual‑format tour in October. The itinerary includes three ODIs and three T20Is, providing a chance to test the squad’s adaptability across conditions. The first ODI at Pietermaritzburg is slated for October 5, and ticket sales are already open for fans in the region.
Back home, the team will host India in a high‑profile T20I series at the Ageas Bowl in September. Expect a battle between England’s aggressive batting line‑up and India’s crafty spin attack, featuring the likes of Sophie Ecclestone versus India's Anushka Sharma.
Don’t forget the Women’s Cricket World Cup qualifiers later this year. England is automatically qualified for the main event, but the qualifiers are a great platform to see emerging talent from associate nations and scout future England prospects.
Alice Capsey – The 21‑year‑old all‑rounder has become a consistent run‑maker. Her ability to finish games in the death overs makes her a vital asset in both formats.
Katherine Brunt – Still the spearhead of the bowling attack, Brunt’s experience and ability to swing the ball at high speeds are unmatched. Her mentorship of younger bowlers like Bryony Smith adds extra value.
Lauren Winfield‑Harries – The captain’s calm demeanor translates into steady performances. Her knack for anchoring chases is evident in the recent series wins.
Sophie Ecclestone – As England’s leading spinner, Ecclestone’s flight and turn trouble batters on any surface. Keep an eye on her spell‑building in the upcoming South Africa tour.
Emma Lamb – The versatile middle‑order player can adapt to any batting position. Her recent half‑centuries in the ODI series show she’s ready for bigger responsibilities.
These five players form the backbone of England’s success, but the depth in the squad means there are always fresh faces stepping up during tours.
