India faces tough call for semi-finals push in Women’s ODI World Cup

India faces a tough challenge in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup as they prepare for a must-win match against England. They have struggled to beat SENA teams in ICC events since 2020. Former captain Anjum Chopra discussed India’s chances of reaching the semi-finals, emphasizing that each match is crucial for the team.

Chopra also addressed concerns about India’s five-bowler strategy, which has been under scrutiny after losses to South Africa and Australia. She believes India needs six bowlers but pointed out that unavailability and fitness issues have hampered the team’s bowling options.

India’s batting has faced collapses, with dot balls and poor strike rotation being significant issues. Chopra stressed the importance of individual preparation and better decision-making during crucial moments.

Regarding the break before upcoming matches, Chopra feels a week-long break could help the team refocus and re-evaluate their strategies. However, she noted that limited resources and unavailable players have impacted the team’s performance.
